Sylvie is a director of German-Dominican descent whose films explore questions of belonging. Exploring characters at challenging intersections of the human experience, her films probe the vast, mystical range of emotions that characters feel. Often anchored in historical events, Sylvie's films employ surrealism as a means to find meaning. These genre-bending stories reimagine freedom, resilience, and urgent contemporary moral issues.

Sylvie's films have screened at festivals and institutions worldwide, including Black Star Film Festival, BAM, LA Film Forum, Seoul International Film Festival and Museo Italiano Audiovisivo e Cinema. In 2023, Sylvie was selected for Playlab Films Creator's Lab with Apichatpong Weerasethakul in Mexico. She is currently developing her first feature film 'Rio Masacre' selected for the 2025 Austrian Film Institute’s Talent Lab.
