Born in 1985, Aurore Vullierme studied, amongst others, silkscreen printing, set designing, photography and video at the National Superior School of Applied Arts in Paris. In 2009 she started to use art video and sound design to begin her research studies around the notions of roots, origins, visible and invisible. She completed her final Master’s thesis with Highest Honours in 2013. In 2014, whilst continuing to produce art videos, she worked with internationally acclaimed theatre and film director Luc Bondy, at the National Theatre of Odéon in Paris. She created for him the set designs of his last film, False Confessions, starring world famous actress Isabelle Huppert. It allowed her to study the relationship between the human body and its surroundings, and to connect the different materials that compose her work: images, sounds, bodies, minds, movements and objects.

The movie, shot in Houston, Texas, received the Great Price of International FIDMarseille film festival in 2017 followed by several international nominations. In 2017, Southern Belle’s producer Elsa Klughertz, CEO of Jonas Films Production Company, produced Aurore Vullierme’s first long lenght documentary, Seekers, shot in the Jicarilla Apache reservation in Dulce, New-Mexico, USA. Seekers is now starting its festivals journey and just got nominated at Le Cinéma du Réel in Paris, France.
