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

Biography

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

His cinema takes as a starting point the French cinema of the 1930s, with an experimental and autobiographical tone[citation needed]. 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]
