Gérard Mordillat
Gérard Mordillat was born in 1949 in Paris, in a working-class family from a proletarian neighbourhood. After having directed the literature pages of Libération, he published his first novel, which tells his childhood, in Vive la sociale!. Since then, he has never ceased to be interested in social issues, through novels, essays, films or documentaries. He also addresses religious matters. For the television, he has directed television films, sometimes based on his own book, like the social saga Les vivants et les morts. He has also made documentary series such as Corpus Christi and L'origine du christianisme in collaboration with Jérôme Prieur. In 2012, he directed Le grand retournement based on Frédéric Lordon's play about the financial crisis. He recently published the collection of poems Le Linceul du vieux monde and prefaced a new edition of Karl Marx's Capital.
