Franco-Turkish, Céline Baril came to France to study cinema. She joined the image department of Fémis, where she directed her first short film, Rojda. Today, she works as a cinematographer and videographer for theater and opera productions. In the various projects in which she participates, the fact of being as close as possible to the production makes her want to direct her own films. Une femme à la mer is her first short film. She is currently developing her first feature film, Mauvaises Têtes, with Apaches Films.
