François Vacarisas

François Vacarisas est scénariste et réalisateur. Originaire de Paris, il habite Bruxelles depuis près d’une dizaine d’années. Il travaille sur la marge, la précarité et la violence sociale, à travers des histoires à la lisière du film de genre. C’est le cas notamment de son court-métrage « Bluestar », qui a reçu un bel accueil dans de nombreux festivals. Et comme c’est le cas encore dans son premier projet de long-métrage intitulé « Life is Good », dont l’écriture commence seulement, et qui bénéficie du soutien du Groupe Ouest.
