Camille Alméras
biography
Camille is an animation film director.
After studying 2D animation at DMA in the ESAAT, she went for a 6 months exchange program in Norway. She directed her first film, Le Bleu Pays, a poetic promenade of paper cut. Back in Paris, she joined the Arts Décoratifs. In 2016, her clip, Les Mains Froides, for Oldelaf, won the First Prize at the BPI animated music video contest.
Camille likes to draw rough sketches. She is fascinated by everyday life and its small events. Her films are born of documentary approach most of the time - her curiosity lead her from the workshop of a naval shipwright to the radiology rooms of the First World War.
Currently, Camille alternates between commissioned projects and arthouse films.
LA GRANDE GUERRE DE MARIE CURIE, a TV special she is developing with Tripode Productions, is already supported by many grants and residencies in France since the first steps of its writing.
