Biography

Après un parcours en droit et des études à La Fémis en département scénario, Alice Winocour réalise trois courts métrages. Le premier, Kitchen, est sélectionné en compétition officielle à Cannes en 2005 où il reçoit le prix Gras Savoy du court métrage. Avant de réaliser son premier long métrage, Alice Winocour participe à l'écriture de Home d'Ursula Meier (Semaine de la Critique, 2008) puis co-signe le scénario du film de Vladimir Perisic, Ordinary people (sorti en 2009), sélectionné à la Semaine de la critique en 2009.

En 2014, elle co-écrit avec sa réalisatrice le scénario du film Mustang, présent en 2015 à la Quinzaine des réalisateurs, et qui représente la France pour les Oscars.

Depuis 2016 elle est membre de l’Académie of Motion pictures (AMPAS).

Son premier long métrage, Augustine, qui se fonde sur les relations entre le professeur Charcot et sa patiente Augustine, a été présenté au Festival de Cannes 2012 dans le cadre de la Semaine de la critique.

Son second long métrage, Maryland, qui réunit Diane Kruger et Mathias Schoenaerts, est en compétition dans la sélection Un certain regard au Festival de Cannes 2015 et est présenté au Festival international du film de Toronto (TIFF 2015) en séance de Gala.

En 2016, elle fait partie du Jury de la Semaine de la critique lors du festival de Cannes 2016. Elle fait partie du jury de la Compétition internationale du festival international de Deauville en 2017.

En 2018, elle collabore à l'écriture du scénario de Mignonnes de Maïmouna Doucouré, qui a gagné le prix du scénario à Sundance.

Son troisième film, Proxima, qui réunit Eva Green et Matt Dillon, gagne une mention spéciale au Festival international du film de Toronto 2019 et le prix du Jury au Festival international du film de Saint-Sébastien 2019. Le film se veut ouvertement féministe, et la cinéaste s'en explique dans les colonnes de La Septième Obsession :

« Je voulais montrer une super-héroïne qui est aussi mère. On montre rarement ces deux aspects dans un même corps. Je voulais rendre hommage à ces femmes qui essaient de concilier leur rêve et leur vie privée.

Marthe (Isabelle Huppert) and Michel (Olivier Gourmet) live with their three children in a house next to an uncompleted highway. They use the deserted road as an extension to their property. For example, they have an inflatable swimming pool and the son as well as his friends use the highway to ride their bicycles. They have been living for ten years close to the highway and believe that it will not be used. One day without warning, construction workers begin to upgrade the road and the highway becomes open to traffic. Instead of leaving the house, the family continue to live there, despite the increased noise from the passing traffic. It used to be the case that the father would simply walk across the highway in order to use his car to get to work. This becomes more complicated as the highway becomes increasingly used by motorists. He and his children eventually have to use a tunnel in order to gain access to the outside world.
