Diretores

Born in Paris in 1926. He studied film at the Institut des Hautes Études Cinématographiques (IDHEC) and began making short films in the mid- 1950s, including “Rentrée des classes” (1956) and “Blue Jeans” (1958), considered precursors to the French New Wave. His first feature film, “Adieu Philippine” (1962), became one of the movement’s emblematic films. With some of the most singular works in French cinema, he made only five feature films: “Adieu Philippine” (1962), “Du côté d’Orouët” (1973), “The Castaways of Turtle Island” (1976), “Maine Océan” (1986), winner of the Jean Vigo Prize, and “Fifi Martingale” (2001). He also directed short films, documentaries, and work for television. Jacques Rozier died in Théoule-sur-Mer, France, in 2023.
