Faustine’s father immortalized in family films the most beautiful moments of his life, while her mother’s difficulties struck the blind spot of his images. Today the filmmaker revisits these films to tell another story: the one of a woman who sees her role as a mother gradually taking away her freedom.

 

Born in 1988, Faustine Cros graduated from INSAS (Belgium) in editing. In her work, she plays with hybrid forms between documentary, auto-fiction, and experimental, mixing her own images and family archives. Her graduation film “La Détesteuse” was selected and awarded at many international festivals.
