Early life

He was born on 15 January 1928 in Camaret-sur-Mer, Finistère, France, the son of a factory worker and a teacher.[2] He joined the French Resistance during World War II at the age of 15[3] and later received the Croix de guerre and the Order of the Nation from Charles de Gaulle for his militant activity.[2][4] He then joined the French Communist Party[5] and studied film-making at the Institut des hautes études cinématographiques, where he graduated in 1948.[6]

Career

Afrique 50

Vautier made his first film, Afrique 50, in 1950, when he was 21.[2][6] He was assigned to visit French West Africa and make an educational film,[6][7] but he was appalled by the conditions he witnessed, including lack of doctors and crimes committed by the French Army.[8] The resulting film was confiscated by police using legislation decreed by Pierre Laval, but Vautier managed to recover enough footage to publish the 17-minute film in 1950.[1] It was hailed as the first anti-colonial French film. He was indicted thirteen times for it and sentenced to a year in prison.[2][4] The documentary was banned for forty years.[5]

Later works

He worked with Louis Malle to make Humain, trop humain in 1973, a film about conditions in a Citroën car plant.[9] Vautier directed Peuple en marche, which gives the history of the National Liberation Army and the Algerian War, in 1963.[10] Another Algerian War film, Avoir 20 ans dans les Aurès (1972), won the International Federation of Film Critics Award at the 1972 Cannes Film Festival.[11][12] He made over 180 films, many of them destroyed by the French government.[9] Several of Vautier's other films were presented at Cannes, including Mourir pour des images, Comment on devient un ennemi de l'intérieur, Les trois cousins, and Vacances tunisiennes.[13] In January 1973, he went on hunger strike to protest film censorship.[1] He received the Order of the Ermine in 2000. On 4 January 2015, he died at a hospital in Cancale, Brittany.[3][14]
