Originally from northern France, Rislane Hakym places social issues at the heart of her practice. She has been a jury member at international festivals. With a background in audiovisual and journalism, she directs film projects with marginalised people. Her interest in documentary filmmaking led her to enrol in the CREADOC Master’s programme in 2023. There, she was able to experiment with sound creation, notably with her documentary Schizophonies, which won an award at the 2024 Phonurgia Nova Awards and was featured at the 2025 EBU Audio Storytelling Festival in Lithuania. Her journey into cinema of the real continues with the DEMC documentary Master’s (Paris Cité University).
