Born in Paris in 1951, she studied Spanish, English and Cinema, which she rounded off by regularly attending the French Cinematheque. When she was 19 she moved to Madrid where she studied Audio-visual Science starting in 1973. In 1975 she joined the broadcasting team at the Spanish National Film Library. In 1982 she obtained Spanish nationality and since 1989 she has held the post of Deputy director at the renamed Spanish Film Library, where she took charge of supervising films in storage and purchases, recovering Spanish films abroad and programming the Doré Film theatre in Madrid. For 27 years she has been responsible for locating copies of films that are unavailable in Spain, often through detective work, as well as dealing with the screening rights. This has enabled her to organise several hundred thematic seasons and comprehensive retrospectives featuring international filmmakers from every period for the Film Library. She has advised and collaborated with various institutions and festivals on a regular basis (including the Donostia-San Sebastián festival) for years and she has been a member of the FIAF (International Film Archive Federation) Programming Commission and is a member of the Executive Committee of the ACE (Association of European Film Libraries).
