Career

[edit]

Dominique Abel and Fiona Gordon have worked as a writing and directing team through most of their professional careers. They made their directing debut in 2005 with L'iceberg, which was co-directed with Bruno Romy. Their follow-up, Rumba, was screened in the International Critics' Week during the 2008 Cannes Film Festival and released to critical acclaim, with critics praising the film's semi-silent style.[1]

Abel and Gordon then directed The Fairy (2011): at the 2nd Magritte Awards, the film received five nominations, including Best Film and Best Director, and won two.[2] Their next film, Lost in Paris (2016), earned Abel and Gordon their second nomination for the Magritte Award for Best Film.[3] In The Falling Star (2023) Abel and Gordon worked again with Bruno Romy.
