Biography

In 1997 in order to produce his first film, Le pont du Trieur (co-written with Philippe Parreno), he founded the production company Anna Sanders Films, with Philippe Parreno, Pierre Huyghe, Xavier Douroux and Franck Gautherot (both from the Consortium de Dijon), and then Dominique Gonzales-Foerster.
