Benoît Grimalt, born in 1975, lives in Nice. He’s a photographer. In 2008, he directed his first documentary film. So he’s also a director. But that’s not all, since he published a book of drawings in 2012. So he’s also a bit of an artist…
His short film RETURN TO GENOA CITY was selected for the Quinzaine des Realisateurs in Cannes Film Festival 2017.
