With his latest film, The Fabelmans, nominated for the Golden Globes and the Oscars, Steven Spielberg comes to mark a little more the history of the 7th art. This biopic traces the director’s youth and his first steps in the film industry.

These prosperous years propelled the prolific director to the forefront of the international scene. A look back at a meteoric rise that could almost be the subject of a…film by Spielberg.

With The Fabelmans (2022), he signs an intimate and touching autobiographical film, winner of the Golden Globes and nominated seven times for an Oscar. And that’s just the beginning. The film follows the lives of the Fabelmans, a modest Jewish family in 1950s America.
