Simon Gaillot France
Promotion André S. Labarthe
At the age of twenty he decided that every summer he would shoot a film outdoors, based on a theatre play.
In keeping with Jean Cocteau’s idea that cinematic art is above all a craft, he works to establish a close relation in which text, face, body and landscape are united by need, and always with a sense of economy.
In this way, he was able to make very adaptations of works by Julien Gracq, Heinrich von Kleist, Jean Racine, Robert Walser, Oscar Wilde and Fernando Pessoa.
He is now working on Intérieur , after Maurice Maeterlinck, in 16mm.
