Lea Carme

Léa Carme is a cinematographer and documentary filmmaker. Originally from southwestern France, she lives and works in Paris. After earning a college degree in theater and film, Léa worked as a production assistant at Films de l’œil sauvage before training in cinematography at the INA.

Léa believes that documentary film brings people closer together. It is only possible through an exchange between her and the person being filmed; it draws attention to a reality that is sometimes hard to see. It brings different experiences into contact with one another. In her work, Léa seeks above all to keep our sensibilities alive through attentive listening and a deep respect for the people she films.

As part of the Résidences Rocabella artist residency program, Léa Carme will collaborate with three other filmmakers to create a free-form documentary of about ten minutes on the topic “The Guardians of the Sea.”
