  Olivier Rosemberg  

Olivier Rosemberg landed his first acting role at the age of 20, starring in a variety of commercials before being cast in his first feature-length movie. Since then he has appeared in a number of films, including La cage dorée, Nos jours heureux, 99 francs, the Cœurs des hommes trilogy, and Prête moi ta main (I Do - SFFF 2009). A combined love of acting and movie watching inspired him to write his first short film, Pourquoi je fais ça ? (Why Did I Do That?). After the huge success of this debut, he directed his second film, J’en rêve encore, in which he also stars.
Both films will be presented this year as part of the Short Film Screening on Saturday, June 28, 10:30am.
