Thekla's work

About Thekla

Thekla Dubus is a Polish-French director and screenwriter whose films blur the boundaries between reality and imagination. Grounded in research and driven by anthropological curiosity, her cinematic language weaves elements of magical realism into textural, narrative explorations. Moving fluidly between fiction and documentary, photography and writing, she constructs socio-cultural worlds that feel intimate yet dreamlike. Exploring themes of vitality and decay and the tension between them. Finding harmony between nature, people, and imagination.
