He became internationally known for films such as "Être et avoir" (To Be and to Have, 2002), which follows daily life in a single-class village school. For his most recent work, "Sur l'Adamant" (On the Adamant, 2023), a portrait of a floating psychiatric day care center in Paris, he was awarded the Golden Bear at the Berlin International Film Festival.
