Joséphine Berthou was born in Rambouillet in 1996. She lives and works in Paris. From 2015 to 2021, she studied film and visual arts at HEAD in Geneva. In 2021, she entered the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-arts de Paris, from which she graduated in 2023.
Joséphine Berthou makes fiction films with a strong documentary and musical comedy element. Her films are incorporated into large-scale installations, and consider the roles that each person acquires in a globalized society where information circulates with ever-increasing immediacy. Joséphine Berthou casts her eye over a wide range of professions: gendarmes, truck drivers, rappers, Internet moderators, hospital cooks and con artists. Based on these singular professional worlds, she creates a narrative, a fiction in which the emotions of the characters are expressed in words and music.
