Jennifer Cotillard graduated from a higher school of audiovisual directing (ESRA). She established herself in the Île-de-France region as a lead editor for a wide range of productions, including institutional projects, television documentaries, fiction short films, and animations. In recent years, she has developed skills in writing, which have broadened her possibilities and allowed her to gain diverse experiences in her profession. A cinephile, she wrote and directed her first short film in 2015, “La Dernière Ballade,” starring Swann Arlaud and Sylvie Artel, which was selected for the Paris Courts Devant festival. She then wrote and directed a film for the Nikon festival, “Un train qui passe,” followed by the music video “Letting Go” for the band IATHL, and the short film “Délivrance” in 2024, about Ukrainian refugees in Paris. She is currently in pre-production for a new short film, “À la Lumière des Sous-Bois,” produced by Les Films de la Capitaine, for which she has already secured funding. In her work, Jennifer Cotillard finds particular joy in telling moments of life that are both moving and life-affirming.
