Charles de Meaux

Charles de Meaux (born 1967) is a French film director and contemporary artist. His work combines fine arts and cinema.

In 1997 in order to produce his first film, Le pont du Trieur (co-written with Philippe Parreno), he founded the production company Anna Sanders Films, with Philippe Parreno, Pierre Huyghe, Xavier Douroux and Franck Gautherot (both from the Consortium de Dijon), and then Dominique Gonzales-Foerster.

de Meaux's 's film works make extensive use of narration to explore the relation between reality and fiction – particularly science fiction. Landscapes also play an important role in his work.

de Meaux shows his films principally in museums and art institutions:

de Meaux has co-produced all of the films of the Thai independent film director Apichatpong Weerasethakul, notably Tropical Malady (Prix du jury at the Festival de Cannes in 2004), Oncle Boonmee, who can recall his past lives (Palme d'Or at the Festival de Cannes in 2010) and "Cemetery of Splendour".
