Alexis Braun

Biography

Alexis Braun was born in Toulon in 1996. He studied film at Paris 8 University. A chance meeting with dancer and choreographer Floriane De Gracia sparked a collaboration that led to a documentary on New York’s hip-hop scene and a dance film. Since then, the two have continued to explore the intersection of dance, performance, and film through their production company, inclinæ. In 2023, Alexis received a GREC grant for his short film "Godspeed." His fictional worlds are shaped by oppressive environments, places weighed down by violence, stagnation, and quiet surrender. His characters burn with the need to act, a desire that both drives and devours them.
