Tony Gatlif (born as Michel Dahmani on September 10, 1948 in Algiers, Algeria) is a French film director who also works as a scriptwriter, actor, and producer.
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 Roma people of Europe, from whom he partially traces his descent.
His 2004 film Exils, won the Best Director Award at the (2004) Cannes Film Festival. His film Transylvania also premiered at Cannes in May 2006.
