Biography

Laura Chatenay-Rivauday is a director from Martinique. She works on very personal themes: insularity, family, traces and borders... Passionate about history and stories, politics and above all images, she explores a variety of narrative forms: film, sound creation,drawing, etc. A former journalist, she decided to devote herself to documentaries by taking part in Docmonde Amazon-Caribbean residencies and training courses at the Fémis and Ateliers Varan. Laura Chatenay-Rivauday lives in Martinique, where her projects focus on the often little-known and forgotten aspects of her island.
