- ABOUT
- BIO
FEMMEfille is a feature-length documentary on the story of Isabelle Caro, Oliviero Toscani’s “NO-Anorexia” model who rose to fame after his campaign. Through spending time with Caro participating as a member of the jury for Top Model France and as she writes and releases her autobiography we see her attempt to be understood. But the media has a different plan and aims to exploit Caro’s offering of her body. Diving through different passages of time, with the aid of family photos as well as video diaries left behind, we see a kaleidoscope of Isabelle's life and the world that surrounded her. In the end, we come to know the complex history of a woman and the extreme life moments that ultimately lead to her death.
Kiki has shot in over 15 countries with the hope of understanding the human experience from as many cultures as possible. After selling out every show at the prestigious Leipzig Documentary Film Festival, her feature length documentary titled FEMMEfille, featuring the French Pop Icon, Isabelle Caro, went on to have a theatrical run in Germany as well as being shown on the celebrated ARTE, ZDF, YLE and SVT television stations. In addition to her documentary work she has written two feature film scripts and has helmed branded and commercial campaigns for Lexus, Prada, Adidas, L’Occitane, Ray-Ban, and many others. The common threads in her work are tactile and cinematic imagery seamlessly paired with honest and accessible portraits of the people in front of her lens. Allgeier loves to travel, tells pretty bad jokes, loves a good dance party and most of all she loves telling great stories that emotionally resonate with her audience.
