Florent Emilio Siri studied cinema at the Sorbonne University and ESRA in Paris, France.
He began his feature film career with the 1998 social film, "Une minute de silence" (One minute of silence), and then continued in 2002 with the action film, "Nid de guêpes" (The Nest). He went on to serve as director of two critically-acclaimed and highly successful Splinter Cell video games at French-based video game developer Ubisoft, entitled "Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow" and "Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory".
Florent Siri is also a noted music video director, particularly in his home country of France. He has worked with such bands as IAM, Expression Direkt, Alliance Ethnik, and Wu-Tang Clan, amongst others.
Following the underground success of his first feature film, Siri's directorial style caught the eye of actor Bruce Willis, who asked Siri to direct his big-budget 2005 action thriller, "Hostage". The film earned considerable critical praise for Siri's slick direction.
In 2007, he released a film called "L'Ennemi Intime" (Intimate Enemies) treating on the personal aspect and psychological effects on individual personalities of the Algerian War. It is the first movie depicting the use of napalm by the French Army during the 1954-1962 conflict. |
