Florence Miailhe

Florence Miailhe, born in 1956 and a graduate of the École Nationale des Arts Décoratifs specializing in engraving, has established a highly personal style in animated film. She creates her films using paint, pastel or sand, directly under the camera, in a process of overlapping. She won the César for best short film in 2002 for Au premier dimanche d’août; a special mention at the Cannes Film Festival in 2006 for Conte de Quartier; and a Cristal d’honneur at the Annecy International Animation Film Festival in 2015 for her body of work. La Traversée is her first book.
