Mathilde Heuliez (*1999, France) is a french artist and filmmaker currently based in Los Angeles. She obtained a Bachelor in Fine Arts at the Gerrit Rietveld Academie of Amsterdam in 2022 before moving to Berlin, extending her work and research in the German capital. Since September 2025 she’s pursuing an MFA in Film at the California Institute of the Arts in Valencia, California.

Her practice exists at the crossroads of experimental video, narrative cinema, and editorial work. Several themes intertwine in her work, with a focus on the disconnection between physical and mental spaces. Through formal image experiments, she explores mechanisms of escapism that develop when finding oneself within this gap, where the mind, nourished by nothing but ideals, attempts to disengage from an ontologically situated body. Her decision to move to Los Angeles is therefore driven by a strong desire to explore and dissect a place that embodies this gap so explicitly, both in its physical infrastructure (highways, frictionless transportation) and its immaterial capital (films and images). She attempts, through her films and stories, to highlight these connections.

Mathilde has curated various exhibitions and screenings in Amsterdam and Berlin and initiated the literary anthology Sore in November 2022.
