Giulia Montineri is an anthropologist by training. Self-taught as a filmmaker, she directed *Gracias por visitar* in connection with her fieldwork, exploring the intersection of tourism and colonialism in the Andes (Corsica Doc 2019). With a passion for writing and social dynamics, she went on to work as a script consultant in fiction, notably for Brigitte Sy, adapting Albertine Sarrazin's *L'Astragale* (2015). Since 2019, she has led the DOC EN COURS writing workshops at Lundi Soir, first in Paris then in Marseille, working as a script doctor for documentary. She writes and directs films about her native Corsica, its identity fantasies and collective mythologies. As part of this journey of "critical reconciliation", she directed *ZIE* (2020, 52', Via Stella) and *Julie, récit d'un féminicide* (63', France 2, 2023), a feature-length film for which she received the documentary author grant from the Fondation Lagardère in 2022. She subsequently reedited a theatrical version.
