Director

Christophe Gomes

Christophe Gomes, a passionate screenwriter and lover of auteur cinema, discovered his vocation in childhood, making his first amateur films with a simple home camera. After a career in casting and more than 40 projects alongside directors such as Xavier Legrand and Robin Campillo, he decided to return to his first love: writing and directing. Inspired by the poetic cinema of Céline Sciamma and Michael Haneke, Christophe explores unique stories. Through his works, he aims to bring new visibility to marginalized identities and explore universal themes of love and identity.
