Ramos, Philippe

(December 22, 1966, Vienne, Isère, France - )

   Between the ages of fifteen and twenty-five he shot about twenty amateur Super-8 shorts. In 1992, more interested in cinema than in his studies, he dropped out of the university and moved to Paris, where he showed one of his Super-8 efforts to film critics at Les Cahiers du Cinéma and Bref. They encouraged him to persevere. In 1995, he directed his first profes­sional movie. He edited a short (2001 Ce Vieux Rêve qui bouge, Alain Guiraudie) and appeared in Humphrey Bogart et la Femme invisible (short, Anne Benhaïem).
