ABOUT COSTA-GAVRAS
After studying at the IDHEC film school, Costa-Gavras worked with Henri Verneuil, René Clément, Jacques Demy and Jean Becker as an assistant before writing and directing The Sleeping Car Murders (COL•COA 2009) in 1965. He quickly established a personal style with his trilogy Z (1969), The Confession (1971) and State of Siege (1973), winning two Oscars® (Best Film Editing and Best Foreign Language Film), as well as a Best Actor and Jury Prize at Cannes for Z. Confirming this success with Missing (Palme d’Or at Cannes and Oscar® for Best Screenplay), Music Box (1989), Amen (2002) or The Ax (COL•COA 2005), Costa-Gavras has become a household name in politically engaged cinema. Through genres as varied as thrillers, war films or dark comedies, he has produced an impressive body of work exploring History, politics and social issues. Costa-Gavras is currently President of the Cinémathèque Française and Honorary President of the Franco-American Cultural Fund.
The FOCUS ON A FILMMAKER includes:
The screening of his first film THE SLEEPING CAR MURDERS introduced by Serge Toubiana, Director of the Cinémathèque Française.
