The son of director Alexandre Arcady and critic Marie-Jo Jouan, Alexandre Aja grew up on film sets. Very early in the seventh Art, wandering through video clubs, the young Alexandre Aja purged his first traumatic experiences behind the camera. This is what he gave us during our exchange at the FEFFS, where he was invited to this 18th edition. High Voltage had impressed Wes Craven who will produce his remake The hill has eyes A few years later. A success that will open his doors to the United States.

A director apart and now inseparable from contemporary horror cinema.
