Born in 1966, Philippe Ramos attended the Paris film school La Fémis and is part of a group of young French film directors sometimes referred to as the new wave of French cinema, a group including Yves Caumon, Jean-Paul Civeyrac and François Ozon. After a series of shorts films -- Les îles désertes (1993), Vers le silence (1995), Ici-bas (1996), L'Arche de Noé (2000), Capitaine Achab (2003) -- he made his feature debut with ADIEU PAYS in 2003. Four years later he made a feature-length version of CAPITAINE ACHAB (best director at the Locarno Festival), followed by JEANNE CAPTIVE in 2011.
