Bio.

Charlotte Le Bon is a Quebec-born actor and filmmaker.

Le Bon made her directorial debut with the short film Judith Hotel, which premiered at the 2018 Cannes Film Festival. Her feature-length filmmaking debut Falcon Lake, adapted from the graphic novel Une sœur by Bastien Vivès, has also premiered at the 2022 Cannes Film Festival.

Trained in the field of visual arts, Le Bon has actively pursued a parallel career as an illustrator and street artist. She began as an artist for Spank, an online magazine founded by her on-air colleague at Canal+ Raphaël Cioffi, who hired her to do drawings to accompany certain articles. As part of the 2011 commemoration of the 30th anniversary of the March for Equality and Against Racism, she collaborated with French artist JR in organizing the Inside Out Project, in which 2500 black & white portraits were posted in Lyon on 2 December 2013. She subsequently maintained a sporadic involvement in street art by creating works that allow audience interaction, such as moons on strings that can be unhooked by passers-by (on the streets of Paris and in New York City's Rikers Island prison). In September 2016, she confirmed her return to illustrating with an exhibit called "One Bedroom Hotel on the Moon" at Anne-Dominique Toussaint's Galerie Cinéma in Paris. In an interview with The New York Times, she explained that this exhibit symbolizes the merging of melancholy and hope: "the expression of a poetic isolation".

Le Bon is bilingual in French and English, and lives in Paris.
