From painting to animation, from short to feature

Born in 1956, Florence Miailhe graduated from the National School of Decorative Arts. She began as a layout artist for the press, exhibiting drawings and engravings. In 1991, she directed her first short film Hammam. Since then, she has developed her very personal style in animation cinema. Her work has been awarded at various festivals in France and abroad. She received a 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 in 2015 at the Annecy International Animation Film Festival for her work as a whole. Her first feature film The Crossing received the award for the best feature film at Animest in 2021.

Miailhe will talk about her experience as a director in animated painting, about the influences on her work, and she will dwell on the realization of the feature film which remained very artisanal in its manufacture.
