Lého Galibert-Laîné is a French filmmaker and researcher, who is Assistant Professor in Film Studies at American University of Paris. In 2021 they defended a part theoretical, part artistic PhD entitled Documenting the Internet at the Ecole normale supérieure de Paris (SACRe / PSL University), in which they explored the reuse of online media in contemporary non-fiction cinema. Before joining AUP, they did a three-year post-doc at the Lucerne School of Art and Design, and taught courses and workshops at various universities and art schools, including the University of Massachusetts, the Royal Academy of Art in The Hague, the Johannes Gutenberg University in Mainz, the Beaux-Arts de Marseille, Paris 8 University, and the California Institute of the Arts.

Galibert-Laîné's research and artistic work explores the intersections between cinema and online media. They are particularly interested in questions related to embodied spectatorship, gestures of appropriation, processes of knowledge production and mediated memory. Several of their films are desktop documentaries, and they are generally passionate about everything that concerns the video essay format and videographic research methods. Their current research takes the form of a non-binary feature-length film (part research, part speculative fiction) currently in production, whose protagonist investigates digital archives and relics from the beginning of the 21st century to better understand their ancestors' relationship to fatigue, (self-)exploitation and online practices.
