BIO

Juliette Menthonnex (1994) is a filmmaker living in Geneva, Switzerland.

Her practice is founded on a documentary approach, sensitive to site-specific research and weaving of the intimate. Her work encompasses various formats and explores contemporary topics related to resilience, ecology, and emancipation within a feminist framework. Her films have been regularly screened in international festivals such as DOK Leipzig, Visions du Réel, TIFF and DOCUDAYS, as well as in art exhibitions addressing environmental and societal issues.  

She holds a Bachelor's degree in Cinema from ECAL/University of Art and Design, Lausanne (CH), and graduated with a Master's in Documentary Film Directing from Docnomads, based in Lisbon, Budapest, and Brussels, in 2022. In parallel of her artistic practice, she regularly works on both fiction and documentary films as a script supervisor and assistant director (including Summer Drift by A. Suter and C. Carridroit, Bulle by A.Deluz, Sacha by Léa Fazer, The Brain by Jean-Stéphane Bron).
