Aurélien Vernhes-Lermusiaux

Aurélien Vernhes-Lermusiaux was born in Figeac. Having grown up near Les Causses – a desertic environment South of France - he developed very early an interest for abandoned spaces and ghosts inhabiting such places. He produces films, documentaries and interactive installations that question the links between the concept of "trace" and the questions of "memory". After a diploma in audiovisual (BTS) and majoring in cinema and philosophy at university, he finished his studies at the Fresnoy, national studio of contemporary arts. He has worked with directors such as André Téchiné, Sharunas Bartas and worked on the films of Jacques Audiard, Youssef Chahine, Elia Suleiman ... His films have been selected for national and international festivals and have been rewarded many times. His work has also been screened and exhibited in various museums and arts centers.
