Elodie Lefebvre is an artist and filmmaker born in Toulouse, France in 1974. She discovered experimental video while studying at the Toulouse Ecole des Beaux-Arts. Her documentary films open up a space to share and exchange with other artists. Halfway between installation and moving image, her work is deeply imbued with the experience of the body. Her documentary films open up a space to share and exchange with other artists, their rapport to creation and the physical or symbolic place from which they hail. The first, Au coeur des sables (2001), is set at the École des Sables, founded by Germaine Acogny. Cassa Cassa, the second installment of their collaboration, captures one of the "danced encounters" held at the school, where the sensibility and engagement of choreographers from Africa meet those of their peers from the African diaspora.
