About Me

Michel Hazanavicius is an acclaimed French filmmaker renowned for his innovative storytelling and cinematic homages. He gained international recognition with The Artist (2011), a black-and-white silent film that earned five Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Director, making him the first French director to receive this honour. Earlier, he revitalized the spy comedy genre with the OSS 117 series, notably Cairo, Nest of Spies (2006) and Lost in Rio (2009), starring Jean Dujardin. In 2024, Hazanavicius ventured into animation with The Most Precious of Cargoes, adapting Jean-Claude Grumberg's poignant tale set during the Holocaust. The film premiered at the Cannes Film Festival, receiving acclaim for its evocative storytelling and artistic depth. His diverse body of work reflects a commitment to blending humour, history, and emotion, solidifying his status as a visionary in contemporary cinema.
