Ève Lamont
Filmmaker and camerawoman Ève Lamont is a free spirit who explores social realities that are often overlooked. Her cinema is engaged and encourages reflection and debate. Since her first documentary Des Squatteureuses (1988), on women squatters in Europe, she has been interested in voices that reject commercialism and oppressive relationships. Her first feature documentary Méchante job (2001) criticizes work from the point of view of the precarious and unemployed. With The Fallacy (2010) and The Sex Trade (2015), she focuses on the issue of prostitution, revealing the other side of a new modern-day slavery. In her next film, Le chantier des possibles (2016), Lamont tells the story of a working-class neighborhood that defends a vision of urban development as a counterweight to real estate developers. From 2021 to 2022, she directed the documentary series Pas une de plus, which highlights feminist intervention in shelters for women victims of domestic violence. Her most recent documentary My Mom's Coop (2021), which depicts an intercultural housing cooperative where her mother lives, won the Humanist Award at the Festival Vues sur mer.
