Director Statement

In 2020, I asked myself what happened to Solveig Dommartin, the star of Wim Wenders' most iconic films. Since then, I have been chasing her story. A 'muse' who struggled to make her voice heard, she is now the object of my upcoming documentary. Ceci n'est pas Solveig is an experimental approach to understanding my connection with Solveig and telling her story.
