CAST & CREW
Fabrice Du Welz (Director)
Born October 21, 1972, Fabrice du Welz gorged himself on horror movies before studying dramatic arts in Liège and directing at INSAS. He wrote gags for Canal+ (LA GRANDE FAMILLE, NULLE PART AILLEURS and others) while working on his own short films with a crew of regulars that included cinematographer Benoît Debie. Du Welz followed his short QUAND ON EST AMOUREUX C’EST MERVEILLEUX (Grand Prix de Gérardmer 2001), with his first full-length CALVAIRE, which screened in Critics Week at the 2004 Cannes Film Festival. VINYAN is his second feature film.

Emmabuelle Béart (Jeanne Belhmer)
Daughter of the singer Guy Béart, Emmanuelle grew up with her sister and three brothers in Provence, before spending four years in Montréal. It was here she learned English and met Robert Altman who encouraged her to study drama. In Paris she was spotted by David Hamilton, who cast her in PREMIERS DÉSIRS (1984), but first reached a wide audience with MANON DES SOURCES (1984). Ever since, Emmanuelle Béart has chosen her roles carefully, always seeking to broaden her range with new experiences and new challenges and also appeared in MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE (1996) alongside Tom Cruise.

Rufus Sewell (Paul Belhmer)
Born in 1967 at Twickenham, England, the son of a noted Australian animator and an artist mother, Rufus Sewell completed his studies at the London Central School of Speech and Drama, in 1989. From his earliest stage performances he drew widespread acclaim and awards. He made his big screen debut in 1991 in Don Boyd’s TWENTY ONE and has ever since divided his time between cinema and the stage with a film credit list including THE ILLUSIONIST (2007), THE HOLIDAY (2006) and THE LEGEND OF ZORRO (2005).
