His filmography is anchored by the critically acclaimed Soul of Steel (L'âme de l'acier), a genre-bending film that blends neo-noir, science fiction, fantasy, and horror. This award-winning project has established Bilardo as a distinctive voice capable of weaving complex narratives across multiple genres . His subsequent works, Le Sablier (2021) and Phoenix (2021), have further demonstrated his visual ingenuity and narrative depth . His latest short, The Wonder (2026), a 15-minute horror film shot in Denmark, explores themes of egocentrism and family fragmentation through a surreal carousel metaphor.
