Marcia Romano, a Franco-Argentinian screenwriter and director born in Buenos Aires and based in Paris, studied film at the University of Paris VIII and La F.E.M.I.S (Screenwriting Program). She started her career on film sets with directors like Yolande Zauberman and Noémie Lvovski before moving into development roles at production companies such as Fidélité and IMA Films. In 1997, she co-wrote her first screenplay with Emmanuelle Bercot for the short film Les Vacances. Since then, Marcia has collaborated with numerous talented filmmakers including François Ozon, Emmanuel Bourdieu, Éric Rochant, Xavier Giannoli, and Audrey Diwan. She co-wrote Standing Tall (La Tête Haute), directed by Emmanuelle Bercot, which opened the 2015 Cannes Film Festival. In 2021, she wrote the screenplays for Suprêmes with Audrey Estrougo, Peaceful (De son vivant) with Emmanuelle Bercot, and Happening (L'événement) with Audrey Diwan. All three premiered at the Cannes and Venice Film Festivals, with Happening receiving the Golden Lion at Venice. That year, she also served on the jury of the 47th Deauville American Film Festival. Marcia made her directorial debut in 2024 with Fotogenico, co-written and co-directed with Benoît Sabatier. The film was selected by ACID at Cannes and praised for its originality and unique artistic vision. Première magazine described it as "an electric, ultra-sensitive film, yet never sentimental, capable of re-enchanting a French cinema that has become too well-groomed," while Cultea called it "a marginal little gem," noting its punk energy and distinctive tone. Her latest project is the Netflix feature L'Avocat (working title), directed by Tristan Séguéla and starring Laurent Lafitte, set for release in 2026. Throughout her career, Marcia Romano’s work is characterized by incisive storytelling, daring cinematic choices, and a distinctive voice within contemporary French and international cinema.
