Liu iacono is a director who grew up in Burgundy and has been based in Paris for several years. In 2027, she will be relocating to Toronto to pursue new cinematic opportunities.
Her work explores the darker aspects of humanity, the places we choose not to look at, where silence is often preferred. Mental illness and trauma are central to her films.
She is drawn to unsettling characters, those who do not fit into predefined boxes, whose inner chaos reflects outward into the world around them.
As a woman, she carries anger, pain, and silences that she feels compelled to deconstruct through fiction.
Cinema is, for her, a tool of confrontation, an outlet, a cry.She pursues a visceral, sensory form of cinema that embraces darkness without ever glorifying it.
Her influences lie in psychological horror, mental thrillers, and narratives that oscillate between raw beauty and a persistent sense of unease.
