Biography

Nathan Ambrosioni was born in Grasse, in the south of France, on August 18, 1999. He began exploring cinema in 2014 and 2015 by directing two self-produced genre films with a team of volunteers during school holidays. These “vacation” projects went on to screen at festivals around the world: Brussels (BIFFF), Los Angeles (Screamfest), Montreal (Fantasia), Barcelona (Sitges), Buenos Aires (BAFICI), Cleveland (CIFF), London (FrightFest), Turin (Sotto18), and more.

From 2016, Nathan shifted to a more intimate style of filmmaking. He wrote and directed the short film What Remains, starring Zoé Adjani. The film was selected for festivals in Calgary and San Francisco.

In 2017, he received development funding from the CNC for his first produced feature film, Paper Flags. Filming took place in early 2018, with Noémie Merlant and Guillaume Gouix in the lead roles. The film was released in theaters on February 13, 2019.

Afterward, Nathan co-wrote two films with Audrey Diwan, which he has kept in the drawer for now. In 2021, he wrote Toni on Her Own and directed it a year later, starring Camille Cottin. Produced by Chi-Fou-Mi Productions, the film won three awards at the 2023 Festival du Film de Demain: Best Film, Best Screenplay, and the Audience Award.

In 2025, Nathan directed his second film, Out of Love, again starring Camille Cottin. The film earned him the Best Director award at its world premiere in Karlovy Vary, as well as the Valois de Diamant at the Angoulême Film Festival.
