Jerome Clement-Wilz has worked on creative documentaries, short documentaries and documentary series aired on France Télévision, VPRO, Arte, RTBF, etc., as a director and/or DP. His first documentaries have been selected and/or awarded in numerous festivals (Rotterdam IFFR, IDFA, Clermont-Ferrand, Dok-Leipzig, FIPA, KIFF…). A Baptism of Fire has received the French Television Laurel and ranked as fifth best documentary ever by Vanity Fair France. Whether on frontlines or by lovers' beds, he has focused a benevolent look on powerful human stories, where verging on limits of so-called normality raises existential questioning.
