Eleonore de Montesquiou
(France)

Eleonore de Montesquiou is French-Estonian, she was born in 1970 in Paris. Her work revolves around the articulation between private and official histories, personal and national identities. It tackles the intricacies and ambiguities of living in the margins, based on her personal experience of up rootedness. Eleonore is primarily working with film, she tapes testimonies, creating prosthetic memories of repressed histories. In her documentary-informed works, her camera becomes the voice of these voiceless people. Her work is based on a documentary approach, translated in films, drawings and texts; it deals mainly with the search for freedom, issues of integration/immigration/meaning of a nation in Estonia, giving voice to the Russian community. Since 2007, she films women living on the Estonian-Russian border town of Narva: Na Grane, in 2016, she started working with asylum seekers from French speaking countries in Estonia: Hope is no home while pursuing a long time film project in France with peasants in the Haute-Alpes : Traverses.
