Stephanie Gillard (born 1973, in Paris) is a French documentary filmmaker, writer and editor. Her documentary The Ride, about the annual 300-mile journey through the South Dakota Badlands where young Lakota Sioux ride horseback, was praised by critics.
Life
Stephanie Gillard was born in Paris. After studying law, Stephanie Gillard worked as an assistant director (films à lou), then as a programming assistant (radio FG)and as an assistant producer (agat films ex nihilo).
The Ride
Filmed in winter 2011 and produced by Julie Gayet's production company : Rouge International : The Ride takes audiences on the annual Chief Big Foot Memorial Ride that retraces the Lakotas' history. After the defeat of General Custer at Little Big Horn and the surrender and execution of Chief Sitting Bull, the Lakota Sioux fled through South Dakota, joined by Chief Big Foot's people and chased by the US Cavalry. In December 1890, at Wounded Knee, the massacre of hundreds of unarmed Lakota took place.[1][2][3]
The Squad
"In my opinion, people are not interested in women’s football because they don't know the players. If you want to be a fan, you have to be able to identify yourself as champions. Even if they win all the titles, if you don't know the personalities, it doesn't work. With The Squad, I wanted to invite viewers to discover a female team. The idea was to enter the heart of a team, meeting outstanding professional players."
The Squad (Les Joueuses, in French), also produced by Julie Gayet, deals with the Olympique Lyonnais women’s football team.[5][6]
