Céline Thiou
Trained as an actress and director, Céline Thiou made her first documentary film in 2002. She soon began operating the camera herself on her films. Abandoning the fantasy of a reality that is by nature just and generous with meaning, she realizes that it is sometimes necessary to put one's hands in the engine (of reality) to unlock its meaning — or simply to get a shot. Writing then began to play an increasingly important role in her work. She went on to direct nine more documentary films, and in 2014, her first short fiction film. In 2016, she joined the screenwriting workshop at La Fémis.
