Biography

French film director and screenwriter. Born on July 15, 1964, in Villefranche-de-Rouergue (France) to a farming family. He received an education in history. He made his debut as a film director in 1990 with the short film "Immortal Heroes" (French: Les héros sont immortels). He directs films based on his own scripts and sometimes acts in them.

In 2001, Alain Guiraudie received the Jean Vigo Award for the short film "That Old Dream That Moves" (French: Ce vieux rêve qui bouge) and was nominated for the French national film award, the César.
