Laurent Achard

Director and screenwriter Laurent Achard (1964, Antibes, France) made his first short film in 1990. His second film, Dimanche ou les fantômes, won the special jury prize at the short-film festival in Clermont-Ferrand in 1994, and many other awards. His feature début, Plus que'hier, moins que demain won a Tiger Award in 1999. Although Achard enjoyes genre films very much, his latest production Dernière séance/Last Screening is in his own words strictly speaking not a horror film - what is shocking for some, may not be for others. The spectator can watch this movie at the IFFR 2012 and decide for himself.
