At the same time, since 2022, she is writing two documentaries, one of which is about Talchum Theater, On se souvient des pas - 춤의 발걸은들을 기억납니다, which she started the scouting shoots in October 2022. At last, since 2019, Lévana has been leading process and shooting workshops in 16 mm and Super-8 at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris, the Royal Academy of Art in Stockholm, and at the collaboratives labs Zébralab of Geneva and Etna at Montreuil.
