Born in Lausanne in 1991, Céline Dondénaz graduated from ECAL/University of Art and Design of Lausanne with a specialization in Visual Communication and a major in Filmmaking. She has been drawing since she could hold a pencil, nurturing a love for storytelling that evolved into a passion for filmmaking. Her graduation short film, "On casse le ciel on prend un bout," earned the 3rd prize in the school film category at the 42nd Schweizer Jugendfilmtage and was screened at various international festivals. Her preferred themes revolve around internal conflicts emerging in childhood and adolescence, as well as political issues that evoke rebellious feelings within her. Currently, she is working on the development of her first feature film, selected in October 2023 at the International Audiovisual Market in Rome.
