Lola Quivoron

Lola Quiv­o­ron joined the Direct­ing depart­ment at La Fémis in 2012, where she cre­at­ed three acclaimed short films: Stand (2014), Son of the Wolf (2015) and Au Loin, Bal­ti­more (2016), all of which won awards at numer­ous fes­ti­vals. Pre­sent­ed at the Locarno Film Fes­ti­val, her grad­u­a­tion film, Au Loin, Bal­ti­more, explores the prac­tice of acro­bat­ic street motocross. This long-term doc­u­men­tary immer­sion gave rise to her first fea­ture, Rodeo, car­ried by a cast of non-pro­fes­sion­als built around Julie Ledru and Anto­nia Bure­si. Pre­sent­ed in the Un Cer­tain Regard sec­tion of the 2022 Cannes Film Fes­ti­val, the film won the jury’s “Coup de Cœur” Award before embark­ing on a suc­cess­ful inter­na­tion­al run. Lola Quiv­o­ron is cur­rent­ly edit­ing her sec­ond fea­ture film, Grand Eldo­ra­do, a fam­i­ly thriller star­ring Mal­lo­ry Wanecque, Matthias Schoe­naerts, Samuel Kircher and Anto­nia Bure­si, with whom she co-wrote the screenplay.
