As a director and screenwriter, Claire Denis has made a significant impact on French cinema with an impressive filmography that addresses relevant social issues in both France and West Africa, in post-colonial and colonial contexts.
Some of her most notable works include:
- “Chocolat”
- “No Fear, No Die”
- “I Can’t Sleep”
- “Nenette and Boni”
- “Beau Travail”
- “Trouble Every Day”
Her latest film, “Stars at Noon”, premiered at the 2022 Cannes Film Festival, where it won the Grand Prix.
Her presence at the 14th ficmonterrey had a significant impact, especially during her tribute, as her presence and work enriched the festival, leaving a mark on our community. We are excited to continue bringing influential figures like her in future editions.
