‘Xenia Doualle is a young French film maker who combines expertise and passion in deceptively simple, beautiful, well-crafted film making. Raised in Paris, she has filmed in her native France, in India and in Italy and more recently in the Pacific Northwest. The art of the documentary feels natural to Doualle, because, she says: “I don’t have to write the story. It is already there for me to tell with my camera”. Xenia Doualle considers her work a vocation. She has studied film making from the ground up. Her background in music, dance and theater taught her directing and staging. She is closely involved in the entire production process from shooting to editing. Her voice is an asset to any film.’ Christine Vincent
