The official poster of the 8th edition of the FIFCL

A half-smile, and the light grace of dreamers who pass the test of time with elegance. Sunny and luminous, mysterious and generous, Nathalie Baye succeeds Benoît Poelvoorde on the bill of the Liège International Comedy Film Festival, clap 8!

She imagined dance and theater, and discovered cinema when she filmed “La nuit américaine”. And cinema never tires of rediscovering her: at 74, with over 100 films and 4 Césars to her name, Nathalie Baye is an immense actress, both popular and demanding, whom we can’t wait to honor at the 8th edition of the Festival!

A muse to some of the world’s greatest directors, she’s not afraid of anything, and takes on more confidential projects with equal enthusiasm. She “prefers to ask questions rather than answer them”, but we’re taking up the challenge of revealing a little more about this Grande Dame of the 7th art when she comes to the Festival!

The photographer

Nathalie Eno began her career as an assistant to fashion photographer Dominique Issermann. The latter’s sister, Aline, hired her on the set of the film “Le Destin de Juliette” in 1982. Since then, she’s lived and breathed on film sets, as a photographer and, occasionally, as an actress!

When I met Nathalie Baye in 1992, in a hotel room, I had very little time to create a bond, to look at her with a loving gaze that gave rise to trust in return, to abandonment ,” she recalls. ” I wasn’t on the side of her ‘good side’, but, capturing her reflection in the mirror, I caught something. She liked the result. For me, I like to see this photo shared again, to see this moment endure in time and space.
