Marie-Hélène Rebois

Marie-Hélène Rebois became a filmmaker at the same time as studying literature and theatre. Her early films focused on performance art, artistic creation and painting. Gradually, dance took precedence, becoming the filter through which she describes life, time, death and the world itself, constantly guided by personal research into the body’s memory, movement, effects and transmission, notions that only filmmaking can glimpse… Among others, she has worked with the choreographers Dominique Bagouet, Maguy Marin, Alain Buffard, Trisha Brown, Merce Cunningham and Lucinda Childs. In 1999, she won the Feature Documentary award at the Festival International de Films de Femmes de Créteil, followed by the Grand Prix at the FID Marseille in 2003 and the Jury Prize at Montreal’s International Festival of Films on Art (FIFA) in 2017.
