Lisa Chevalier

COMPOSER

Composer Lisa Chevalier is invited to the 27th edition of the Festival international Music & Cinema Marseille as part of the They’re Back program to present Nakal (Flore Nappée), film for which she composed the score.

This program highlights artists who have taken part in initiatives developed by the Festival, such as the International Market for Film Music Composition or the Masterclass in Music Composition for Screen. While it underscores the evolution of their artistic journeys, it also strengthens the ties between the Festival and the creators.


Lisa Chevalier, film composer and graduate from the CNSMD in Lyon, developed an early interest in creation, sound experimentation, and cinema. Influenced by the musical hybridity of contemporary music, she explores a sensory, corporeal, and dreamlike dimension within acoustic and electronic sound.

In 2022, she received the Cinézik Prize at the MCM. In 2024, she won the Unanimes! competition and received both the Toulouse Capitole National Orchestra Prize and the Audience Award.

She composes for fiction films, such as Par souci pédagogique (Charlotte Cayeux & Hassan Benali) and De la poudre noire dans les veines (Joseph Couturier), for animated films, such as Opération Père Noël (Marc Robinet), and for documentaries, such as Nakal (Flore Nappée).

In parallel, she explores other forms of relationships between music and images. She created the soundtrack for the acrobatic dance solo Mahamat (La Main de l’Homme company) and composed, from a scenario, the symphonic piece Réveil à l’aube d’une ville, performed in 2025 by the Montpellier Opera.
