Charlotte Dauphin (born 1987) is a French filmmaker, performance artist, visual artist, and designer.[1][2]

Early life and education

[edit]

Dauphin was born in Paris, France in 1987. She trained as a ballet dancer before her dance career was cut short by injury and she subsequently decided to focus on her studies.[3] She graduated from EDHEC, University of London (Courtauld Institute of Art) and the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts. Later, Dauphin studied filmmaking at the University of Southern California.[2]

She is the daughter of Chantal Lajous and Laurent Dauphin.[1] Following her father's suicide, she became the only grandchild and heir to Jacques Dauphin and Dauphin O.T.A., one of the oldest European media houses in poster art and billboard advertising.[4][5][6]

Career

[edit]

Dauphin is the founder and artistic director of Dauphin Studio, home to her art practice and portfolio of works across genres including performance, visual arts, film, and design.[7][8][9] Her work has been exhibited in film festivals around the world and in cultural institutions, such as at the Palais de Tokyo in Paris and the Serpentine Galleries in London.[2][10] It is also part of the permanent collections of the MAD Museum of Paris.[11]

In January 2020, she released her first feature film, L'Autre (The Other). It received a Best Actress Award for Àstrid Bergès-Frisbey at the Taormina Film Fest.[1][12] She then performed alongside French ballet star Marie-Agnès Gillot in her short experimental film Barre[13] and in Architect.[14]

In 2023 she joins the international cast of Dear Paris, Marjane Satrapi’s cinematic ode to the French city.[15] She reunites with Marie-Agnès Gillot to perform a unique representation of the experimental piece The Future of Statues at Musée de l’Orangerie.[16]

As a producer, she focuses on independent features and auteurs. The first feature she worked on was Dark Inclusion by Arthur Harari. It won the Louis Delluc Prize for Best Film as well as several accolades at the César Awards. Dauphin has also produced films for Mia Hansen-Løve including Bergman Island, which was an official selection of the 2021 Cannes Film Festival.[17] She also works with filmmakers Marjane Satrapi or Scarlett Johansson for her directorial debut Eleanor the Great.

Dauphin is also internationally known for her work as a designer.[18] Her creations are referred to as minimal and poetic with influences from dance, technology, architecture and sculpture.[19][20] It has appeared on leading figures such as Billie Eilish, Susan Sarandon, Oprah Winfrey, Alicia Vikander or Juliette Binoche.[21][22][23][24]

Personal life

[edit]

Dauphin is a member of the La Rochefoucauld family through her marriage to Charles de La Rochefoucauld.[25] They married in a private ceremony at The Invalides on 17 March 2012.[2]
