Sarah Seené is a French visual artist based in Montréal (Quebec, Canada). Working primarily in 35mm, Super 8 and Polaroid film, she focuses attention on the face, the body and the human being to create a dreamlike and poetic world in which intimacy is central.

Lumen (meaning light in Latin) is a sensorial film shot in Super 8 that paints a portrait of an  adolescent with albinism. The hypersensitivity that this genetic condition engenders and the lack of  pigmentation in her skin and eyes lend her an extraordinary aura.
