BIOGRAPHIE

A journalist by training, Frédérique Buck works as a content creator and copywriter for commission projects. In terms of personal projects, she is, among others, the author of the publication “I'm not a refugee” (Finalist of the Amnesty Medienpraïs 2017, double winner of the letzebuerger Buchprais 2017). She also wrote, produced and directed the feature documentary film “Grand H” (Special mention Amnesty Medienpraïs 2018) as well as the short documentary “La nuit, je rêve “(beautifully co-edited by Gintare Parulyte), that was selected by around fifteen international film festivals.

Strangely, we haven't seen each other in person for this project, we only exchanged via WhatsApp audios, a lot of audios …
