Camille Zéhenne is a graduate of the Beaux-Arts de Paris-Cergy, an associate researcher at Sorbonne University, an author, and a film programmer. Her work as a filmmaker explores the nature of images and language. She subverts the seriousness of her subjects through lighthearted forms. "Las Damas" is her first short fiction film, made during a residency at the Casa de Velázquez.
