DIRECTING | Eléa Clair

Eléa started directing in 2013 with her first short film (Un)Fair Trade, which she wrote and shot for the Nikon Film Festival.

The next year, with David Azencot and Olivia Gotanegre, she co-wrote a new short film, Limbo, which she co-directed with Olivia Gotanegre for the 48 Hour Film Project.
