Anne-Sophie Bailly
Anne-Sophie Bailly was born and grew up in Franche-Comté. She started out as an actress in theater and film before joining the Femis Directing Department in 2017. She made several short films between 2018 and 2021, moving between documentary and fiction. Her films are marked by a taste for staging groups, and the themes of care, motherhood, filiation and transmission. Her graduation short, The Midwife (2021), is steeped in these obsessions. It was selected for over 40 festivals around the world, from France (Clermont-Ferrand) to the United States (Telluride), and won no less than a dozen awards. As well as directing, she has co-written several screenplays, including Dog on Trial (2024) alongside Laetitia Dosch, selected this year at Cannes in the Un Certain Regard category, and Long Feu with Manuel Billi, laureate of the Héroïnes de la Scénaristerie residency. Her first feature film, My Everything, premiered at the Venice FF at the Orizzonti competition.
