Pierre Földes

A complete artist, Pierre Földes is a director, composer and painter. Born in the United States, of a Hungarian father and British mother, Pierre Földes is the son of a pioneer in computer animation, Peter Földes, who won awards at Cannes and the Oscars. He grew up in Paris, where he studied piano and composition. He started his career as a composer in New York for cinema and advertising before returning to Europe. Passionate about drawing and animation, he wrote and directed several short films himself, adapting a manufacturing pipeline to his film ideas. He thus developed a personal and singular technique and style.
