Fascinated by cinema from a young age, Christophe Gans started out as a movie critic before becoming a dominant director of genre films. He took the international scene by storm in 1995 with the now cult CRYING FREEMAN. And with BROTHERHOOD OF THE WOLF (2001), he created one of the most successful French movies ever. In 2006, he adapted the video game SILENT HILL into a movie. He came back in 2014 with BEAUTY AND THE BEAST, starring Vincent Cassel and Léa Seydoux. This year, he is not only returning to the big screen with RETURN TO SILENT HILL, but he is also chairing our international BIFFF jury! Thanks, Christophe!
