Born in Rome and based in Paris for 30 years, Cécile Allegra has made numerous documentaries (winning over 20 awards in France and abroad). In 2015, she was awarded the Albert Londres prize for “Voyage en barbarie”, co-directed with Delphine Deloget, the odyssey of six torture camp survivors from Egypt to Sweden.

Her first series, 800 times Watergate, was supported by the FAIA (Itinéraires). In 2019, winner of the Story-telling Institute in Cannes, she wrote the feature film ‘Vésuvio’ (Picomedia). In January 2023, Le Chant des vivants was released in cinemas: over 13,000 spectators (produced by TS) came to see the story of a year spent with a group of torture camp survivors writing their song of exile. At the same time, she was developing The Fix, a mafia-sports thriller, with Nils-Antoine Sambuc (En Thérapie) & Alex Kendall (produced by Entre 2 et 4). As a screenwriter, she stands out for her ability to give shape, through fiction, to stories largely inspired by her experience as a documentary filmmaker, with the urgency to tell stories of resistance, both in Italy and the rest of the world.
