Arnaud des Pallières was born in Paris in 1961. As a teenager, he became interested in theater, literature, and then cinema. He studied filmmaking at La Fémis and went on to make around ten short films. In 1989, he organized and filmed a now-legendary lecture by Gilles Deleuze: What Is the Creative Act? He also directed several essay films for television, blending documentary and fiction, including Is Dead (Incomplete Portrait of Gertrude Stein) in 2000 and Disneyland, My Old Homeland in 2001. For the cinema, he directed several feature films: Drancy Avenir (1997), Adieu (2003), Parc (2009), Michael Kohlhaas (2013), and Orphan (2016). Since 2004, Arnaud des Pallières has been developing a visual and sonic fresco—a constellation of multiple films—depicting 20th-century American stories, reinvented from archives drawn from the Prelinger collection. Through this series of films, the filmmaker explores America as one would the lost city of Atlantis. Diane Wellington, Dust of America, and American Journal emerged from this original creative process.
