Charlotte Dauphin (born on 6 October 1987 in Paris) is a French filmmaker, performance artist, visual artist, and designer. She trained as a ballet dancer in France before her dance career was cut short by injury and she subsequently decided to focus on her studies. Charlotte graduated in semiotics and communication (MA - Edhec, France), art history (MA - Courtauld, University of London), the dramatic arts (MA - Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts, London) and did a filmmaking residency at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles, where she directed, produced, edited and performed in her first short film An Attempt to Know More in 2010. She subsequently launched her own studio, home to her art practice and portfolio of works across genres including performance, visual arts, film, and design. Additionally to her personal work, Dauphin performs for and produces other artists, focusing on independent features and auteurs. Dauphin is married to Charles-Henri de La Rochefoucauld. They both founded Dauphin Films, a production company under which they have produced several internationally acclaimed features. This includes Bergman Island by French independent film director Mia Hansen-Love, Eleanor the Great (2020) by Oscar nominated American actress Scarlett Johansson, or Dark Inclusion by French Oscar and Golden Globe winning director and screenwriter Arthur Harari, both in their directorial debut.

What makes life worth living? In a set of interconnected stories, several Paris residents see their lives turned upside down when death knocks at their door: a narcissistic Italian opera singer wakes up at the morgue only to realise her own passing came unnoticed; a British stuntman finds himself questioning his own profession when his son suffers an accident; an eccentric elderly Colombian woman makes a pact with death itself... While each character strives to reconnect with what matters most, the city of light, love and endless possibility shines brighter than ever.
