She is the author of several translations from English and Italian (Hannah Arendt, Theodor W. Adorno, Ann Patchett, etc.). From 2004 to 2009, she produced the monthly film magazine Rien à voir on France Culture, and several documentaries, including Villes-Mondes: Vancouver (2021) and Turin (2021), and Une vie, une œuvre: Hedy Lamarr (1914-2000) (2021).
