Henri Herré began his film career by making fiction films exploring the interaction of people and environment, both in very impersonal urban areas as well as on Easter Island. His fiction output includes five shorts and two features, Août and L’île au bout du monde. He subsequently moved into nonfiction film, making documentaries on various topics for European television channels, as well as scientific movies. Many of these works have been shown in international festivals and have won prizes. He has taught at the film school FEMIS in Paris. With the Film Study Center, he is working on a documentary on Boston’s history of cinema vérité. Other current projects include Cher Cherokee and a film on a public school in Dorchester.
