David Cronenberg

David Cronenberg (Toronto 1943) got his start in the 1960's with a few short films, moving on to television in the early 1970's. His first movie was Shivers (1975), which brought him to the attention of horror fans. His films Scanners (1981) and Videodrome (1983) were great international successes. In 1986 he brought the classic The Fly to the screen and, two years later, made one of his most memorable films, Dead Ringers. In 1991 he transposed The Naked Lunch by William Burroughs for the big screen. Crash (1996) won the Jury's Grand Prize at the festival in Cannes and eXistenZ (1999) won the Silver Bear in Berlin. Spider won a prize as best Canadian film at the festival in Toronto.
