IMDbProStarmeterSee rank
Lilian Franck has been directing films for more than 20 years. With her superb taste for stories, Lilian has had international success with many feature length documentaries. The film "Pianomania" had a theatrical release in more than 25 countries and won a number of national and international prizes, including the Golden Gate award for Best Documentary at the San Francisco International Film Festival and the Critic's Week prize at Locarno Film Festival.

Before focusing on film, Lilian was the artsy girl in film school who made video installations and experimental films, studying at Filmakademie Baden Württemberg in Germany and at Le Fresnoy - Studio National Des Arts Contemporains in France. Lilian's range of experience is broad. As well as having directed and produced several fly-on-the-wall documentaries ("Omen: 15 Hours of Techno", "Jesus Loves You!", "Pianomania"), Lilian has developed a uniquely personal style.

Her latest movies, "trustWHO", a rigorous exposé into the encroaching influence of private industry on the World Health Organization, and "Fuck Fame", an intimate portrait of electro-rap curio Uffie, demonstrate a deeply personal form of filmmaking. In this way, each of her films is both personal and politicized, allowing her to gesture towards her audience to an unprecedented degree. As she admits: "Each of my films is a contact ad".
