Ève Duchemin found her cinematographic language while learning the image profession at INSAS (Belgium) in 2000. She soon began making documentary portraits for which she signed the image. She travels around Wallonia, filming the old miners of the Borinage region, their passion for pigeons and the disappearance of factories (“Ghislain et Liliane, couple avec pigeons”, 2005; “Mémoire d’Envol”, 2006; “Le Zoo”, “L’Usine et la Prison,” 2007), before sketching a portrait of precarious youth in “Avant que les murs tombent” (2009) and “L’Age Adulte” (2012). In 2009, she shot a 16mm fiction CM, “Sac de Nœuds”. While preparing the film “En Bataille, portrait d’une directrice de prison” (Magritte for best documentary 2016), Ève Duchemin discovered the subject of her first feature-length fiction film, “Temps Mort”, among inmates.
