Nathan Ambrosioni
French film director

Nathan Ambrosioni (born August 18, 1999 in Grasse, Alpes-Maritimes) is a French film director.
Career
With several friends, Ambrosioni directed a first feature film, the independent horror film Hostile, then another entitled Therapy. The general public discovered him in 2018 with the release of Les Drapeaux de papier, with Noémie Merlant and Guillaume Gouix; the film traces the difficult relationships between a man just released from prison and his younger sister. Although he had no contacts or professional experience in cinema when he began directing the film, Nathan Ambrosioni became the youngest director to benefit from the advance on receipts.
“Nathan Ambrosioni: journey of a gifted child”, wrote Première magazine when the film was released in 2019, for which he wrote the screenplay at the age of 16.
In 2022, Ambrosioni began filming his second feature film, Toni, en famille, performed in particular by Camille Cottin, released in France on September 6, 2023, and which won the best film prize at the Festival du Film de Demain.
Other activities
In 2023, Ambrosioni was announced as a member of the jury for the sixth edition of the Dinan Film Courts Festival, from November 15 to 19, 2023. In 2026, he is a guest at the San Diego French Film Festival. In 2026, he served on the jury of the Biarritz Film Festival – Nouvelles Vagues, presided over by Kristen Stewart.

Why this record matters
The phrase “french film director” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
The entry’s evidential value lies in the named roles, institutions and publications that can be tested against primary documentation. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jun 28, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q62662563. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1999, 2018, 2019 and 2022.
Later biographies can compress uncertainty and repeat inherited reputations, so apparently settled claims may still require comparison. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
