After studying at IDHEC from 1959 to 1961, he worked for television from 1962 to 1968. He was co-producer and director of the program Lire: he signed fifteen documentaries and four TV movies. In 1967 he filmed his first short film, Assommons les pauvres, with stolen film.
He left the ORTF after the strike movement of May 1968. He then devoted himself to the realization of his experimental feature film (Le Joueur de quilles), produced by Jean-Edern Hallier, and three short films produced by Pierre Braunberger.
He collaborated in the journal Cinéthique from 1975.
