Alix Gentil

About me

I’m Alix, a Paris-born actress and creator with a passion for storytelling and a multicultural edge.

Fluent in French, English, and Spanish, I’ve worked on feature films in multiple languages and performed improvised theater internationally for over a decade.

Based in Barcelona since 2009, I bring cultural versatility and authentic energy to every project.
One of my proudest achievements is La Mue, a film I starred in, directed, and produced, a festival-recognized film that marked a milestone in my artistic journey.

I’m always looking for projects to build or participate in projects that challenge and inspire me, ready to dive in and create meaningful work.
