Christophe Loizillon

Christophe Loizillon is a French director born in 1953. Between 1985 and 1997, he made five films to get an understanding of the work of contemporary artists Georges Rousse, Roman Opałka, François Morellet, Eugène Leroy and Felice Varini. Since 1996, he has been making film essays about human beings and their bodies: “Les Mains” (1996), “Les Pieds” (1999), “Les Visages” (2003), “Corpus/Corpus” (2007) and “Les sexes” (2017) – and their environments, notably “Homo/Animal” (2011), “Homo/Végétal” (2013), and “Homo/mineral” (2020). He also explores the sequence-shot through fiction in, for example “Petit matin” (2013) with Mathieu Amalric. Loizillon has made two feature-length dramas, “Le silence de Rak” with Elina Lowensöhn and François Cluzet (1996) and “Ma caméra et moi” with Julie Gayet and Zinedine Souhalem (2001).
