Sébastien Berlendis is a writer whose books are published by Stock and Actes Sud. His most recent book, Lungomare, was released in 2024. However, he comes from the world of images, whether photographic or cinematic, and each of his books is written from his own photographs. He makes Super 8 films of spaces, landscapes, and people who matter to him. Following Vercors (2021), he completed And the Sea Is Ashen (2024). Each film now follows its own path from one festival to another. Berlendis works with analog photography and occasionally exhibits his photographs. Recurring motifs in his work include memory, sustained attention to landscape—often Mediterranean—and the impulse to let a geography speak and make its feelings audible. He also taught philosophy in secondary school with great joy. Since 2023, he has been a full-time writer and artist.
