I Line

I am taking my first steps in cinema with “I Line”, where I serve as screenwriter, director and actor. The film marks a temporary culmination of a journey where fiction and thought have continually shaped each other.
After earning degrees in Information and Communication, then in Performing Arts at the University of Liège, I developed a strong interest in the narrator’s position in fiction and how personal stories collide with historical narratives. My thesis, “Heurter la grande à la petite histoire”, draws from Walter Benjamin’s reflections on storytelling and the philosophy of history.

Through my experience in festivals—especially at Imagésanté—I had the opportunity to explore other audiovisual worlds, both close to and far from my own aspirations. These encounters brought me face-to-face with production in real-world conditions, involving organization, writing, recording, and communication.
I also worked on the layout of the 10th volume of Jacky Adam’s series “Des Moulins et des Hommes”, at the crossroads of publishing and documentary memory.
But a decisive turning point came with “Fireflies”, a film made by seven of us under tight conditions and shot as a single take inside a factory (directed by Alexandre Mottart). It was my first collaboration with the Fenrir collective, with whom I now continue to explore collective, activist cinema—telling a story of eco-activists, AI, and resistance.
Today, we continue to work together on shared projects such as “Memorimento”, which I am currently writing, and a potential trilogy including “I Line”. My cinema is drawn to stifled voices, to silent figures haunted by language, memory, and dread.
