Ann Sirot, Raphaël Balboni
Ann Sirot and Raphaël Balboni are a tandem of fiction writer-directors. They have made eight short films and two feature films. Through these projects, they have been able to build a strange, offbeat universe, a hybrid and atypical cinema, a delirious and joyful dream world. With the short films Lucha Libre and Avec Thelma, they established their working method, which is based on very free and spontaneous acting, a sustained jump cut rhythm and an organic narrative construction where accidents are integrated into the story.
Une vie démente, their first feature film, is a bittersweet comedy about a couple coping with a parent suffering from Alzheimer’s disease. The film won seven Magritte awards and a number of festival prizes.
Their second feature, Le Syndrome des Amours Passées, is a romantic comedy in which the authors question the way we think about love, desire, experience and having children.
