Biography
Laurent Micheli graduated from INSAS in Brussels in 2007. He began his career in theatre, performing in Belgian and French productions for ten years before directing several plays, notably with the theatre company Madame Véro. In 2016, he directed his first self-produced feature film, Even Lovers Get the Blues, before joining L'atelier scénairio at La Fémis in Paris. The film, praised for its exploration of sexuality, earned him a nomination for Best First Film at the Magritte Awards. After attending the Émergence residency in Paris, he directed Lola vers la mer (2019), starring Benoît Magimel and Mya Bollaers, who made her acting debut as an 18-year-old transgender girl. The film received critical acclaim, was released in around fifteen countries, and was selected for numerous festivals worldwide. It won around twenty awards, including two Magritte Awards, and was nominated for Best Foreign Film at the César Awards. Laurent recently completed his third feature film, Nino dans la nuit, an adaptation of the novel by Capucine and Simon Johannin, produced by Wrong Men in Belgium and Haut & Court in France.
