Lucie Demange
In no particular order, Lucie Demange trained in acting at the Conservatoire de Saint-Étienne, joined a sumptuous drama-rock band called Les poulets sans têtes (Headless chickens), received training in image-making at CinéFabrique, a national film school in Lyon, and initiated Charbon Paillettes, a queer evening in Saint-Étienne. During her studies, Demange directed their first documentary, Sainté Capitale des Queers, followed more recently by Quitter Chouchou, selected at the Cinéma du Réel festival in 2023. Issues relating to sexual and gender minorities are central to their work, both in theater and in their documentaries, and they strives to address them through a sensitive and intimate approach.
