'''Claire Denis''' (born 21 April 1948) is a [[France|French]] [[film director]] and Professor of Film at the [[European Graduate School]] in [[Saas-Fee]], Switzerland.<ref name="egs">{{cite web | url=http://www.egs.edu/faculty/claire-denis/biography/ | title=Claire Denis Faculty Page at [[European Graduate School]] (Biography, bibliography and video lectures) | publisher=[[European Graduate School]] | author= | accessdate=2010-10-27}}</ref>

 

Denis was born in Paris, [[France]], and raised in colonial Africa ([[Burkina Faso]], [[Somalia]], [[Senegal]] and [[Cameroon]]), where her father was a French civil servant.<ref>Hermione Eyre, "Claire Denis on filmmaking and feminism," ''Prospect'', June 21 2010, http://www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/2010/06/loving-the-lost-and-monstrous/ </ref> She moved houses every two years because her father wanted them to know about geography. She used to watch the old damaged copies of war films sent from America when she was growing up in Africa. As an adolescent she loved to read. She would read all the required material in school, but would then sneak her mother's detective stories at night.<ref name="senses">{{cite news

Denis initially studied economics, but, she has said, "It was completely suicidal. Everything pissed me off."<ref name="senses" /> She then went to the [[IDHEC]], the French film school, at the encouragement of her husband. He told her she needed to figure out what she wanted to do.<ref name="senses" /> She graduated from the [[IDHEC]], and served as assistant to [[Jacques Rivette]], [[Costa-Gavras]], [[Jim Jarmusch]], and [[Wim Wenders]]. Since 2002 Claire Denis is a Professor of Film at the [[European Graduate School]] in [[Saas-Fee]], Switzerland.<ref name="egs"/>

 

Denis was a band leader, worked as an actress, notably in ''[[Venus Beauty Institute]]'' (2000), and directed for French TV. Two of her movies ([[L'Intrus]] and her contribution to [[Ten Minutes Older: The Cello]]) were inspired by the French philosopher [[Jean-Luc Nancy]], as Denis and Nancy have confirmed in a video lecture at [[European Graduate School]].<ref>Claire Denis and Jean-Luc Nancy.

The majority of Denis' oeuvre uses location work over studio work. She sometimes places her actors as if they were positioned for still photography. She uses longer takes with a stationary camera and frames things in long shot, resulting in fewer close ups.

However, Denis' cinematic and topical focus always remains relentlessly on the faces and bodies of her protagonists. The subject's body in space, and how the particular terrain, weather, and color of the landscape influences and interacts with the human subjects of her films maintains cinematic dominance.
