About Sandrine Veysset
Early Life and Start in Film
Sandrine Veysset was born in Avignon, a city in France. She first studied French literature in school. However, she decided to leave her studies to follow her dream of making films.
In 1989, a friend helped her get a job with the famous director Léos Carax. Sandrine worked as his driver while he was filming Les Amants du Pont-Neuf (which means The Lovers on the Bridge). This was her first real experience with the world of cinema. She then became an assistant to the art director for that film. The art director helps design the look of the movie. This experience inspired her to start writing her own movie script in 1991.
Directing Her First Films
Sandrine Veysset directed her very first movie from her own script in 1995. This film was called Will It Snow for Christmas? (or Y aura-t-il de la neige à Noël? in French). It was released in 1996.
This first movie was a big success! In 1997, she won a special award called a César Award for Best First Film. The César Awards are like the Academy Awards (Oscars) in France.
Her third movie, Martha...Martha, was released in 2001. This film was chosen to open the Directors' Fortnight at the 2001 Cannes Film Festival. The Cannes Film Festival is one of the most important film festivals in the world.
