Yvon Marciano (born February 13, 1953 in Marnia, then French Algeria; died November 23, 2011 in Rueil‑Malmaison, France) was a versatile French filmmaker, screenwriter, cinematographer, theatre director, educator, and writer. After earning a Licence in modern literature and studying cinematography at the École Louis‑Lumière (plus a BTS in image and directing), he began his career as a camera operator before moving into direction. He directed celebrated short films such as Autopsie (1982), La Face cachée de la Lune (1987), and Émilie Muller (1993)—the latter earning multiple festival awards and a César nomination. His first feature, Le Cri de la soie (1996), explored early‑20th‑century fétichisme inspired by the work of psychiatrist Gaëtan Gatian de Clérambault and garnered critical recognition, including a César nomination for Marie Trintignant’s performance. After a long period focused on shorts and theatre (notably Cinq Filles couleur pêche at the Théâtre de l’Atelier), he returned with the low‑budget ensemble film Vivre ! in 2009, shot with young talent from the École Florent and ESEC, where he also taught directing and camera‑acting techniques
