Trained as an actress and director, Céline Thiou made her first documentary film in 2002. She soon began to frame her films. Abandoning the fantasy of a reality that is by nature fair and generous with meaning, she realizes that it is sometimes necessary to put one's hands in the engine (of reality) to free its meaning, or simply to have an entry point. Writing became an increasingly important part of her practice. She made nine more documentary films, then in 2014, Céline directed her first short fiction film. In 2016, she joined the Fémis screenplay workshop.
