Mark Rappaport

Independent filmmaker and writer Mark RAPPAPORT (1942, USA) was born and raised in New York, where he attended Brooklyn College and graduated in 1964. Rappaport worked as an editor before making his first feature, the experimental film Casual Relations (1974), which film critic Jonathan Rosenbaum describes as “an excellent introduction to Rappaport’s glamorously home-made art cinema”. Many of his subsequent films have been shown at IFFR. Besides filmmaking, Rappaport also writes essays, having published in French film magazines such as Trafic and Cinéma. A collection of his writings, Le spectateur qui on savait trop/The Spectator Who Knew Too Much, was published in 2008. Rappaport lives and works in Paris.
