While studying at Sciences Po Paris, Félix de Givry entered the film world with a role in Olivier Assayas′s Something in the Air (2012), followed by the lead role in Mia Hansen-Løve′s Eden (2014). On that set, he met Ugo Bienvenu, with whom he founded the production company Remembers, and he honed his directorial skills making several shorts, including L′Entretien (2019). He co-wrote and produced Bienvenu′s animated feature Arco (2025), which won the César for Best Animated Feature and earned an Academy Award nomination. His directorial feature debut, Goodbye Cruel World, was selected as the closing film of the 2026 Cannes Critics′ Week, opening a striking second chapter in his transition from an actor to director.
