Sophie Fiennes

Sophie Fiennes (b. 1967, Ipswich, UK), documentarist and producer, is a member of the Fiennes artistic clan (brothers Joseph and Ralph are famous actors, sister Martha is a director, brother Magnus is a composer of film music). She worked on one of Peter Greenaway’s films as a 19-year-old crewmember. She then embarked on her own creative career, shooting the 1998 documentary Lars 1-10 with Lars von Trier about the tenets of the Dogme 95 movement. In 2006 she thrilled the cinephile public with The Pervert’s Guide to Cinema, in which Slavoj Žižek psychoanalyzes iconic works of world film. Another resounding success came with Over Your Cities Grass Will Grow (2010), included in the program at Cannes.
