Atom Egoyan

Atom Egoyan, born in Cairo in 1960 to Armenian parents who were artists, grew up in Victoria, British Columbia, where the family settled in 1962 and ran a furniture store, then studied international relations at Trinity College of the University of Toronto. His first films, shot on very little money, give a large place to screens, videotapes and thwarted mourning. He later returned to the Armenian exile and the genocide of 1915, and directs operas.
