Introduction

Isabelle Blanc a visual artist and movie director. She studied cinema at University of Montreal and at the Beaux-Arts de Lausanne - ECAL.


She borrows writing forms from cinema, visual arts and literature, and proposes storytelling devices mixing different approaches by which the narratives haunt us: memory, fantasies, obsessions and dreams. By drawing on common imagination and collective beliefs, she explores the fictional possibilities of territories.
Her short films have been presented in Switzerland, Europe, the Middle East and North America. 'Between Brother and Sister' has won numerous awards, including the Golden Leopard for short film at the Locarno Film Festival. His photographic works have been presented at the Rencontres d'Arles, the Circulation(s) Festival, at the Musée de l'Elysée and at the Institute for Photography in Lille. In 2016 she was nominated for the ELYSEE PRIZE with Olivier Hilaire for the photographic short stories publishing project 'The True Truth's Stories'.

She teaches photography and give lectures at the University of Paris, and is developping feature film projects.
