Anne-Marie Miéville


Anne-Marie Miéville is a Swiss video and filmmaker who Sight and Sound has called a "hugely important multimedia artist."

Biography

Miéville was a practising photographer when she met Jean-Luc Godard, who would become her companion, in Paris in 1970. From 1973 until 1994, she collaborated with Godard as photographer, scriptwriter, film editor, co-director, assuming the role of artistic director on some of their projects. In 1983, she realized her first short film How can I love; her second, The Book of Mary, followed one year later. The Book of Mary is featured in the DVD release of Godard's Hail Mary.

Works

In 2002, Miéville wrote Images en parole, a set of short texts published by Léo Scheer, who wrote that they are "a continuation of static shots, short films of the writing. It is not strictly speaking about novels, but rather of unspeakable moments, escaped flavours of images, where it would be a question of filming with words".
