Justine Triet
- Director

Justine Triet is a graduate from the Paris National School of Fine
Arts. Since then, she has directed a couple of films dealing with the
place of the individual within a group:
Sur place (2007) was shot right in the
middle of the 2006 student protest;
Solférino (2009) was filmed during the
2007 French presidential election; in her next effort,
Two Ships (2012),
Justine Triet gave a startling account of life in a São Paulo
shantytown and garnered many awards in the festival circuit. Her first
feature,
Age of Panic (2013)
is a skillful mix of a documentary (five years after
Solférino (2009), she records the
second ballot of the French elections for President live in the streets
of Paris) and fiction (the crisis experienced on that very day by a
divorced couple).
Age of Panic (2013)
has been acclaimed by most critics as one of the best works of the
latest new wave of French directors.
