Production : Ecce Films
During her studies in applied arts, she produced art works and investigations combining photos and texts. This research into everyday life and the banal encouraged her to go to Arts Déco, in the video section. While there she worked on sound and pictures, and made experimental films and documentaries. When she left the school she made portraits of groups of girls in short or medium-length films, and directed La Vie au ranch, which was in competition at Premiers Plans. She is currently writing a new film, Gaby Baby Doll, while making films which are shorter and looser in formal terms than Le Marin masqué or Les Coquillettes de Locarno.
