Bio
Clementine Briand began her film career in Paris, working for a commercial production company with brands like Coca-Cola, IBM, and McKinsey & Co. She produced corporate videos, TV (CNN, BBC), and film, working across Europe, the U.S., and beyond. Transitioning to documentary filmmaking, she produced short-form content for ITVS before moving into freelance work. Her projects include The History of White People (Tribeca, 2018-2019) and Personhood (Doc NYC, 2020), which won the 2020 ABA Silver Gavel Award. While earning her Master's in Documentary Filmmaking in Berlin, she founded Farrago Collective, an artist collective dedicated to nonfiction storytelling. She is currently developing Rules Apply, a podcast and finalist at Sheffield Doc/Fest 2024, and producing Worth My Salt with director Rosalie Miller, a documentary short on queer performance artists navigating a post-pandemic world, as well as Life After Life with director JJ Gerber, a feature documentary following deathcare workers pioneering the practice of human composting.

Worth My Salt
Queer, femme performance artist, Jody Kuehner aka Cherdonna Shinatra, works towards the tour of her career. Once there, it doesn’t feel the way she expected. As she looks towards her next act, the global pandemic strips away her livelihood, forcing her to reclaim herself and her art in a way she never expected.
Rules Apply
From alien contact protocols to bans on fancy hats, Rules Apply scours the globe for unusual laws to figure out what our rules say about us.
