In 2003 he directed the feature film No Rest for the Brave, that was shown in several film festivals such as Cannes and Karlovy Vary, and in 2005 he made Time Has Come, screened in competition at Torino Film Festival, just as The King of Escape. In 2013 Stranger by the Lake won for the Best Director at Certain regard section in Cannes. With Rester vertical (2016) he participated for the first time in Cannes competition.
