After a childhood in Algiers, Gatlif arrived in France in 1960 following the Algerian War Of Independence . Gatlif struggled for years to break into the Film industry, playing in several Theatrical productions until directing his first film, ''La Tête en ruine'', in 1975 . He followed it with the 1979 ''La Terre au ventre'', a story of the Algerian War of Independence. Since the 1981 ''Corre, gitano'', Gatlif's work has been focused on the gypsy people of Western Europe , from whom he partially traces his descent. His 2004 film ''Exils'', won the Best Director Award at the ( 2004 ) Cannes Film Festival . As of early 2006, his film ''Transylvania'' is in post-production, and may be released sometime later in the year. FILMOGRAPHY
