Liliane de Kermadec (6 October 1928 – 13 February 2020) was a Polish-French film director and screenwriter, known for Aloïse (1975), La piste du télégraphe (1994) and Sophie et le Capitaine (1978). She directed more than twenty films and documentaries between 1965 and 2016. Kermadec began as a set photographer, working with Agnes Varda on Cléo from 5 to 7, Alain Resnais on Muriel, and Yves Robert on Berbert and the Train. Her first two feature films, Home Sweet Home (1972) and Aloïse (1975), were both screened at Cannes Film Festival.
She was a Polish-French filmmaker and photographer who transitioned from working as a set stills photographer for directors like Agnès Varda to directing her own narrative and documentary features.
She is primarily recognized for her 1975 film Aloïse, which screened at Cannes, and her long-standing collaboration with actress Delphine Seyrig.
While she worked alongside key figures of the French New Wave, her directorial style remained distinct, often focusing on intimate, biographical, and literary subjects.
