Gérard Courant

Born in Lyon, France, in 1951, he has been living in Paris since 1975. He worked as a film critic for publications such as Cinéma and Cinéma Différent before he started directing his own films. His long list of credits notably include the series Cinématon, which started in 1978 and has largely exceeded the 2000 portraits, some of which are presented in this year’s BAFICI.
