Fanny Ardant is a celebrated French actress, screenwriter and director. She played her first major role in François Truffaut's The Woman Next Door (1981), which earned her her first César nomination. She worked with some of France's best-known filmmakers and took part in films such as Confidentially Yours (Truffaut, 1983), for which she was again nominated for a César, Pédale douce (Gabriel Aghion, 1997), which finally won her the prize, and 8 Women (François Ozon, 2002), which won a Silver Bear for outstanding artistic contribution in Berlin. She made her debut as a director and screenwriter in 2009 with Ashes and Blood and, in 2016, directed Stalin's Couch. With an equally remarkable career in theatre, Ardant has starred in classic and contemporary plays, including Marguerite Duras' La Maladie de la mort (2006). In 2019, she once again explored the Durasian universe to present her solo performance of Hiroshima Mon Amour at LEFFEST in a rare and unique show. She recently starred in the film The Young Lovers (Tardieu, 2022) and took part in The Palace (Polanski, 2023) and My Motherland (Cohen, 2023), maintaining a strong presence on the big screen to this day. In 2026, she presents his latest film — a Portuguese production titled She Looked Without Seeing —in competition at LEFFEST.
