She was present at the 2005 Berlinale, the Berlin International Film Festival, to promote two films she had acted in: Tickets (2005), a three-segment film directed by Ermanno Olmi, Abbas Kiarostami, and Ken Loach, and Crustacés et Coquillages, a comedy directed by the French duo of Olivier Ducastel and Jacques Martineau. She also played a lead role in the short film Drugstore (2000), as part of a French anti-drug awareness raising campaign Drug Scenes (Original French title: Scénarios sur la Drogue), directed by Marion Vernoux based on a script by Eric Ellena. Her debut film as a director, "It's Easier for a Camel...", earned her two awards at the Tribeca Film Festival for Emerging Narrative Filmmaker and Best Actress in 2003. In 2007, Bruni Tedeschi directed "Actrices", which won the Prix Spécial du Jury at the 2007 Cannes Film Festival.
