Sébastien Lifshitz (born January 21, 1968) is a French screenwriter and director. He teaches at La Fémis, a school that focuses on the subject of image and sound. He studied at the École du Louvre, and has a bachelor's degree from the University of Paris in history of art.
Lifshitz's work has been innovative in the area of gay and queer cinema. His most recent film (Wild Side) is a complex narrative involving several narratives, some told forward and some backward, about a trannsexual character and her relation with two men.
