Hélène Landemore is a PhD Candidate in Government at Harvard University and pursues documentary-making as a complement to (and perhaps also an escape from) her work as a political theorist. She has directed three short documentaries: Chez Henri (2005), Catherine or Portrait With Friends (2006) and Meredith (2006), the last with Jenny Malin. In the fall she will start shooting Mariage à la Française in her home country while finishing her dissertation at the Collège de France in Paris.
