After studying history and cinema at the Sorbonne, Leslie Lagier worked as a first assistant director for a few years and then became an editor and a director. She makes films that mix in genres (documentary, fiction, experimental) and focus particularly on places: they question their history, real or fictional, collective or personal, and explore the relationships that are forged with their inhabitants. Memory, disappearance, bereavement, trace and the link between these themes and the landscape are at the heart of her work. Her films are also characterized by a plastic research and in particular by the use of different types of materials: photographs, archives, home movies... Her films have been selected in numerous international film festivals such as IDFA International Documentary Film Festival (Amsterdam), Tampere Film Festival (Finland), Camden International Film Festival (USA), Sao Paulo International Short Film Festival, Tromsø IFF (Norway), Belfort Entrevues IFF (France)...
