Benoît Delépine is a French director, screenwriter, producer and actor.

He holds dual French / Grolandais citizenship, began his career as a screenwriter for the television channel Canal+ at the end of the 20th century.

As a founder of Guignols de l’Info and Groland, he spent most of his professional life writing sketches for these two shows.

He also made several short films such as Mondo kino : à l’arrachée, selected in the national competition at the Clermont-Ferrand short film festival in 1995, and won the Best Short Film Award Gérardmer one year later.

(Mondo kino : à l’arrachée – 1995)

He met a perfect match in Gustave Kervern, with whom he has written and directed seven feature films!

Their films are often considered outlandish whereas they simply push realism to the limits of the unbearable.

In 2016, his last feature film, Saint-Amour, came out with principal actors, Gustave Kervern himself, Gérard Depardieu, Benoît Poelvoorde et Vincent Lacoste.
