Biography

François Ozon was born in 1967 in Paris. He graduated with a Master’s degree in Cinema, then attended the prestigious school of cinema FEMIS, from then on he never stopped filming, producing one to two films a year, all selected by short film festivals world-wide. These include UNE ROSE ENTRE NOUS, ACTION VERITE, SCENES DE LIT, LA PETITE MORT, on which he began his collaboration with Fidélité Productions. In 1995, he turned to documentaries and directed a film about the politician Lionel Jospin, just before the French presidential elections.

He was awarded with a «Leopard de demain» in 1996 at Locarno for UNE ROBE D’ETE, a provocative and sunny evocation of ambivalent teenage sexuality. François Ozon is «inspired by a high and demanding idea of film. He is distinguished above all by his predilection for portrayals of transgression and sexuality that lead the viewer into shadowy zones he would never have thought to visi ». UNDER THE SAND is his fourth feature film.
