Anne-Sophie Bailly

Anne-Sophie Bailly was born and raised in Franche-Comté. She started out as an actress in theater and film before joining the Femis directing department in 2017. There, between 2018 and 2021, she directed several short films, navigating between documentary (En Travail in 2019) and fiction. Her films are marked by a taste for staging groups, and the themes of care, maternity, filiation and transmission. His graduation short, La Ventrière (2021), is steeped in these obsessions. It was selected for over forty festivals worldwide, from France (Clermont-Ferrand) to the United States (Telluride), and won no less than a dozen awards.

As well as directing, she co-wrote several screenplays, including Le Procès du Chien with Laetitia Dosch in 2021, and Long Feu with Manuel Billi in 2022.

Her first feature film, starring Laure Calamy and the young Charles Peccia, is currently in preparation.
