Françoise Romand, born in Marseilles, is a French filmmaker. Filmed in 1985, Romand's Mix-Up ou Méli-Mélo attained success in the United States after it was discovered by Vincent Canby of the New York Times.[1] Journalist Jonathan Rosenbaum, of the Chicago Reader, BiographyFrançoise Romand studied cinema at IDHEC (1974). In 1987, she received a Villa Médicis Hors Les Murs in the USA and received a retrospective at the Film Center Art Institute at the Museum of Chicago in 1995. From Mix-up ou Méli-mélo to Thème Je (The Camera I),[3] she invented a new form of documentary which blends humor and fiction. In 2000, after filming characters with peculiar life stories, Romand turned the camera on herself. Her subjects have included switched babies in Mix-Up,[4] a communist poet becoming a woman with the help of his wife in Call Me Madame,[5][6] the old twins of The Crumbs of Purgatory still living with their parents, the exchange of the lives of two heroines of Vice Vertu et Vice Versa', and amnesia in Passe-Compose. The Camera I echoes all these stories. Romand dissects family secrets, drags skeletons out of the closet, aims the camera on her lovers who hold mirrors up to her, with unflinching humor. She directs herself, mixing as always fiction and documentary. She believes that cinema is an art of illusion, that truth is a trap and that people shot on the fly are only phantoms. Digital cinema allows her to shoot outside of traditional production methods. The director had to sell her apartment after her year teaching at Harvard.[7] Ciné-Romand[8][9] which came out in 2009, is a mise-en-abyme of her previous films. Spectators were invited to discover themselves at a happening that mixes fiction and reality as domestic theater. Voyeurs are not always who we think they are. Romand takes her inspiration from L’Arroseur Arrosé (The Sprinkler Sprinkled), continuing the role of her great-grandfather from La Ciotat, the playful kid who bent the hose to stop the water. After filming the spectators and tenants of the apartments in which the documentary scenes were improvised, Françoise Romand integrated them fictionally into excerpts from previous films and it was reworked in the editing. Guests, spectators, hosts, angels-guides, actors and technicians - all become characters in this fiction documentary where Alice's looking glass reflects a mischievous fantasy where the roles were reversed and complemented one another.She loves to work on sound with composers such as Nicolas Frize, Bruno Coulais, Jean-Jacques Birgé, as much as on images. {{Citation needed|date=September 2016}} Films
