My Take

Of this group, Houda Benyamina is the one who electrifies me. Born in the Paris suburb of Viry-Châtillon, she moved from acting into directing and screenwriting, then announced herself emphatically with Divines in 2016, taking the Caméra d'Or at Cannes and the César for Best First Feature. To capture the rage and fierce friendship of girls growing up on the margins, and to do it from the inside, is no small feat. I have endless respect for anyone who stops waiting to be cast and seizes the authorship of their own story. She is a filmmaker I will be watching closely for years.

Overview

Houda Benyamina (born 1980) is a French director and screenwriter. She won the Cannes Film Festival Camera d'Or and César Award for Best First Feature Film for her 2016 film Divines.
