Our residences

Lucas Roxo

In his documentaries, filmmaker Lucas Roxo brings to light stories and voices that interrogate issues of disappearance and collective memory. He is notably the director of the short film I Feel Your Absence, which revisits a family history shaped by exile, and of the photographic documentary No Man Is Born to Be Trampled, devoted to the figure of a social bandit in northern Brazil and his influence on anti-Bolsonaro activists.

Each year, Villa Albertine hosts research and exploratory residencies designed to inspire creation and strengthen collaborations between France and the United States. In 2026, Villa Albertine is launching a new partnership with the Fondation Fiminco to provide, at the conclusion of these residencies, a privileged space for creation in support of artistic collaborations emerging from creative stays in the United States.

Each year, this initiative will support a Franco-American artistic collaboration arising from a Villa Albertine residency by offering a former resident the opportunity to host an American partner within the studios and exhibition spaces of the Fondation Fiminco—a resource center dedicated to artists from around the world, located on the outskirts of Paris. The duo will also receive a €5,000 grant.
