Christopher Petit

Christopher Petit was born in 1949 and was writing about cinema in a London weekly when he moved into directing, at around thirty, with the backing of a German filmmaker's company. He made three other fiction features in the first half of the eighties, then devoted himself to the film essay, often with a London writer, and to the novel, of which he has published eleven. In 2026 he is still presenting a new film, co-directed.
