Érik Bullot

Since completing his studies at the National School of Photography in Arles and the Institute for Advanced Film Studies (IDHEC) in Paris, Érik Bullot (born in 1963) has directed numerous films that lie midway between documentary and experimental film.

He is a regular contributor to the review “Trafic”. His catalog Erik Bullot (Paris: Léo Scheer, 2003) is accompanied by a DVD and includes an essay by Jacques Aumont. His most recent books are Le Film et son double (Geneva: Mamco, 2017) and Roussel et le cinéma (Paris: Nouvelles Éditions Place, 2020). He was visiting professor at the State University of New York at Buffalo (2009-11). He teaches film at the École nationale supérieure d’art de Bourges (France).
