Director, Producer, Actor & Screenwriter 

About

Born in Tehran to a Swiss father and a Ger­man moth­er, he spent his child­hood in Colom­bia and ado­les­cence in Paris. Hard­ly sur­pris­ing, giv­en the transat­lantic career of a film­mak­er with­out bor­ders whose first fea­ture film More (1969), filmed in Eng­lish in Ibiza, cap­tured the vibra­tions of an era and of youth in per­pet­u­al flux. A screen­writer, direc­tor, pro­duc­er, and actor, he has swung between eccen­tric and main­stream projects while criss­cross­ing the world, always keep­ing free­dom in his crosshairs.
