She soon moved on to documentary filmmaking as a more personal approach. Her first film, A Circus in New York (INA, 54’) came out in 2002. It was shown in film festivals around the world (Londres, Bologna, New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles) and won several awards in France. The World in a Garden, her second film (entre2prises, 90’) was released in 2014 in Paris.

In the meantime, she also produced numerous soundscapes and radio documentaries, working mainly for French public radio.

Since 2021, she has been directing its new Sound Documentary International Summer Program.

In 2013-2014, she was an artist-in-residence at the Casa de Velázquez – French Academy in Madrid where she created El Cabanyal resiste, a 3-TV installation using Super 8 film and dedicated to a neighborhood of Valencia, Spain. Based on the same story but taking on a documentary approach, Cabanyal Year Zero (entre2prises/Dacsa Produccions, 2018) is her third movie and completes the urban film trilogy begun 15 years earlier.

BUGS(Z) Lecturers

Alan Blum / ENS Louis-Lumière, France

Musician and sound engineer. In 2001, in collaboration with Pascal Rueff and other sound engineers, he founded “OmniHead”. This association focuses on the then little-known binaural sound recording technique, and explores the sensation of natural feel or illusion of sound offered by this technique through a variety of mediums and sound creations. His productions were featured in the first editions of the “Longueurs d'Ondes” radio and listening festival in Brest. These experiments led him to join acoustic research teams at IRCAM and LIMSI-CNRS, working on sound spatialization techniques. His collaborations with Brian Katz, Olivier Warusfel and Rozenn Nicol focus on the development of immersive 3D audio techniques, and on the perceptual aspects of spatial hearing. Since 2011, he has been teaching “audio techniques” in the Sound Master Programme at ENS Louis-Lumière, and coordinating the “Sound Arts” an“Sonorisation” options. He is committed to bridging the gap between work in research laboratories and sound work “in the field”.
