Biography

In 1976 he prepares his first video installation. Since then, he has continously moved between the experimental, documentaries and his job at the Art Channel. His three feature films are Sombre (1998), La vie nouvelle (2002) and A Lake (2008). With only three feature films, his filmography is already a refference for understanding the most radical leeways in french cinema nowadays. His films, intense like no other, are physical experiences as well as emotional. They go into themes such as bodily violence but also gazing violence. They achieve an obtuse quality of the abstract.
