Elle s'habille comme une fleur
Spanning a dancer's pregnancy, the film depicts the changes of a dancer's movement.
The story of life emerges through a repeated phrase of movement.

Charrier, Julie
Between the ages of 4 and 20, I danced every day – or almost. When I was 20, at the CNDC (Centre National de Danse Contemporaine), I realised that movement could exist / be understood in forms other than dance. So I studied cinema, motivated especially by the dance-videos presented by Les Sept on Saturday afternoons, also by L'Oeil du Cyclone.
For six years, I worked at Films d'Ici as an assistant director and production manager on arthouse documentary films. In the spring of 2002, I began working for Les Films Pénélope, where I combined my two preoccupations by producing dance-videos, recordings of choreographic works and documentaries connected with dance for television, mainly for ARTE. I directed several short films and video-choreographic performances.
Since 2004 I have worked for different producers and public bodies on various projects, always with image and dance as the central themes.
