LUC BESSON (Writer, Producer) began his career in cinema in 1977, working a number of assistant director positions in France and the United States. He soon became one of the few French directors and producers with an international scope. In 1983, Besson directed his first feature film, The Last Battle, which earned him recognition at the Avoriaz Film Festival. Two years later he directed Subway, starring Isabelle Adjani and Christopher Lambert. The film earned three César Awards. Building on his success, he directed The Big Blue. The film had ten million admissions and went one to become a social phenomenon. The films La Femme Nikita and Leon: the Professional received acclaim, establishing Besson’s popularity in France and earning him an international reputation. Between these films, he directed Atlantis, a documentary aimed at raising awareness about the beauty of nature and the need to protect the environment. In 1997 he directed a bold science fiction picture: The Fifth Element, which became one of France’s biggest box office hits in the United States. In 1998, Besson took home a César Award for Best Director for The Fifth Element. In 1999, he directed his version of The Messenger: The Story of Joan of Arc, winning him another nomination as Best Director at the César Awards. In 2000, Besson was named President of the Jury for the 53rd Cannes Film Festival, becoming the youngest jury president in the history of the festival. He devoted most of the next five years to production. Since creating EuropaCorp ten years ago, the studio has become one of European cinema’s most important companies. In 2005, Besson returned to directing with Angel-A, and the following year he helmed his first animated picture, Arthur and the Invisibles, adapted from the book he wrote. Besson followed this with Arthur and the Revenge of Maltazard and Arthur 3: The War of the Two Worlds. In 2010, Besson adapted Tardi’s beloved series of graphic novels The Extraordinary Adventures of Adèle Blanc-Sec, with Louis Bourgoin starring in the title role. The year 2011 marked the release of The Lady, starring Michelle Yeoh in the role of Nobel Peace Prize winner Aung San Suu Kyi. Besson also directed a number of music videos, as well as commercials for internationally renowned brands. Besson has written over twenty screenplays for features. Among them are the Taxi series and Taken; the latter is the biggest box office hit of any French film in the United States. *** LUC BESSON (Scénariste, Producteur) a commencé sa carrière dans le cinéma en 1977.
