Paul Vecchiali (born 28 April 1930 in Ajaccio, Corsica, France) is a French filmmaker and author.

Biography

He spent his childhood in Toulon. His family, suspected of collaboration, preferred to leave this city after the war.

His cinema takes as a starting point the French cinema of the 1930s, with an experimental and autobiographical tone. His best-known films are arguably Rosa la rose and Encore.[1] His films are notably low-budget.[1]

In 1987, he became the first director to link AIDS to homosexuality in a French film with his film Encore.[2]
