Biography
English by birth, Róisín Burns grew up in Liverpool, lulled by the rhythm of Merseybeat, the songs of football fans and the waves of the Irish Sea. It was while she was at Paris 1 that she made Passing Tides, a short documentary pre-bought by France 3 in partnership with Premiers Plans. The film was shown at several festivals in France and abroad. In 2021, she joined the screenwriting workshop at La Fémis, where she began writing her first feature. At the same time, she developed her first fiction short, Wonderwall. Produced by Barberousse Films, Wonderwall won the Audience Award and the Moulin d'Andé’s Coup de Coeur Award at the Côté Court festival (June 2023). It is also the winner of the CLOS residency (FIFIB 2022) and has received writing support from the Île-de-France region.
