Isabelle Solas

After studying anthropology and oriental languages, Isabelle Solas joined the Lussas Documentary Film School in 2005. Her first three medium-length documentaries explore themes of disappearance and belonging to a real or imagined territory: Inventaire (2009), Avoir 15 ans sur le Plateau (2012), and Pas de nostalgie camarades (2015). She has worked as a cinematographer on documentary films and has also explored dance videos and directed music videos for the band Chocolat Billy. She collaborates with the Random collective, which works in public spaces around dance and theater, integrating her documentary practice. The desire to film the body as a field of political and poetic invention has become central to her work in recent years. In this spirit, she directed Nos corps sont vos champs de bataille (2021), a journey into the struggles of two Argentine trans women.
