Alain Guiraudie
Alain Guiraudie is one of the most prominent and innovative figures in French cinema. He directed his first short film in 1990, Heroes Never Die, and went on to make a medium-length film, That Old Dream That Moves, which won the Jean Vigo Prize and was presented at the Directors’ Fortnight in 2001. Jean-Luc Godard referred to it as the best film of the Festival. Regularly filming in the Southwest of France, Alain Guiraudie transitioned to feature films with No Rest for the Brave, Time Has Come, The King of Escape (presented at the 41st Directors’ Fortnight at the 2009 Cannes Film Festival), and Stranger by the Lake, selected in the Un Certain Regard section of the 2013 Cannes Film Festival. This last film broadened his audience and earned him significant recognition abroad, particularly in the United States and Asia. In 2016, Staying Vertical was part of the official selection at the Cannes Film Festival. In 2022, his film Nobody’s Hero, a comedy featuring Noémie Lvovsky and Jean-Charles Clichet set against the backdrop of terrorist attacks, opened the Panorama section at the Berlinale.
