Born in Paris in 1981, Mia Hansen-Løve attended the National Academy of Dramatic Arts, and then worked as a film critic before moving on to her first passion: direction. After several short subjects, in 2007 she directed All Is Forgiven, for which she won the Prix Louis-Delluc for Best First Film and immediate critical recognition. She continued her intimist filmography with Father of My Children, and then Goodbye First Love, in official competition at the Locarno Festival, before going on to direct a gigantic, ambitious fresco about the French-touch years: Eden. In 2016, her film Things to Come won the Silver Bear for Best Director at the prestigious Berlin International Film Festival. A blend of autofiction and pure fiction, personal narrative and a generational fresco, her fascinating oeuvre is unique in French cinema, acclaimed by audiences and international film critics alike.
