“I conceive this short film Fragments for Venus as a self-portrait constructed as a collage of images, texts, scenes, and situations that draw as much from documentary as from fiction. It will be mixed with a very subjective set of references with which I have built myself. Paintings, sculptures, films, and book excerpts will be cited: those that may have broken me, sometimes hurt me, and all those that I have found to heal myself and overcome the pain inflicted by this form. In particular, the paintings, photographs, and sculptures I choose represent Black women freed from enslaving representation, in works by Black or white artists, mainly from the 20th and 21st centuries.” (Alice Diop)

Alice Diop released two films in 2016. The first, La permanence, takes place in a medical center for refugees in Paris. The second documentary that year, Vers la tendresse, features interviews with four young men talking about masculinity and the difficulty of finding love and intimacy. Saint Omer, Diop’s first feature film, premiered in 2022 at Venice International Film Festival, where it won the Grand Jury Prize and the Lion of the Future – Luigi De Laurentiis Best Debut Film Prize.
