SYNOPSIS :
YU FU, filmmaker and artist, lives and works in Paris.
I learned cinema with my teacher Jean-Charles Hue, at the School of Fine Arts in Le Mans. Some of my art videos and short films have been selected by art exhibitions and film festivals, such as the Salon d’Automne and the «Les Yeux Grand Ouverts» festival. Fruit of my personal experiences, my work focuses mainly on disadvantaged people. I believe that the cinema must speak for them.
