Julie Béziau
I find a film’s rhythm in its silences and its sound.
Twenty-five years of editing, from documentary to auteur cinema — between France and Vietnam.

About
I’ve been editing films for twenty-five years.
A picture editor for twenty-five years, I began by editing documentaries and television series for France 3, Arte and France 5. Drawn by my own roots, I then spent six years in Vietnam, where I started editing feature films. Based in Toulouse since 2013, I am currently training in sound design.
I am often chosen for my feel for sound editing; I can only find the rhythm of a cut by working on its sound. Whenever possible, I collaborate with the composers, so I can weave their work into mine.
