Before making her own films, Lidia Terki had several jobs in the film industry, from set design to production, from being an assistant to direction. Her first short film, Mal de ville, broadcast on France 2, won the Special Jury Prize and a mention in the Press Award at the Festival de Pantin in 1998 before screenings in several French and foreign festivals. Then came Notre Père, shot in Corsica with Elzévir Films, Mains courantes, that she produced herself and which was selected for the Telluride Festival (Colorado) in 2001 and then in several European festivals.
Paris la blanche is Lidia Terki's first feature. Colo Tavernier proposed the script to her: “The story of this woman wandering through Paris looking for her husband, a retired immigrant worker, moved me a great deal. I had just lost my father, and, even if these pages didn't tell his story, it sent me back to his origins, and therefore to my own.”
