Biography
After studying screenwriting in Sorbonne in Paris, Isabelle Putod trained on feature films and then edited short films. She then devoted herself to editing creative documentaries. For the past twenty years, she has worked with directors such as Laurent Chevallier, Amalia Escriva, Catarina Mourão and Philippe Martin, and has been an instructor at La Fémis film school. For several years, she has been a writer and director. Her films, formally hybrid, have a strong dramatic tension: “L'Exilé du temps” that was selected to Clermont Ferrand festival in 2017, tells the story of the survival of a man alone at the bottom of an abyss. “Une Femme Légère” (“A Light Woman”), a short documentary film finalized in 2022, looks at the tragic end of her great-aunt.
