Marie Fauqueux

The subject of my film concerns a person who is neither rich nor famous. An anonymous person among others on whom the spotlight deserves to shine more often. Anchan is from Thailand, is 77 years old and migrated to France at the age of 30. This exceptional woman has taken care of me since my birth. An adoptive mother, loving and caring.

Through our foundational encounter, which made her a mother and gave me one, it is not only our filial intimacy that is revealed on screen; it is also the story of an entire generation of women who leave their countries, sometimes alone, like Anchan. Here, Thailand, one of the ten countries in the world that exploits women the most at work. But to find themselves in what conditions of respect and comfort in the West? How are these migrant women who seek a better economic future elsewhere treated? What are Anchan's specific reasons? How is she doing now that she is back in her home country?

By retracing Anchan's past in Chiang Mai, different facets of her personality emerge despite her reluctance to discuss it. And little by little, her portrait takes shape to bring her own story to life. How far will she agree to open up to her heart's daughter and the camera?

Directed the music video for the song "Coup de fatigue" 3'29" from the first EP by Maïm, a rap artist.

Creation of an intimate visual universe that describes the rapper's emotional state, caught in the whirlwind of her daily life.

The clip shows the evolution of her state of mind, a build-up of her anxieties, and hints at the possibility of overcoming them.

Documentary film "Isa met les voiles" - 49'50" -> co-directed with Virginie Will

"Isa met les voiles" portrays a free woman, a Swiss resident, who opted for euthanasia. Her daughter Lola took us through the final moments of her existence to share her life and death journey with as many people as possible and to keep her alive.

Isabelle generously, courageously, and intimately conveys what she is going through, what inhabits her, and the irreversible decision she makes.
