Jérémy Clapin (born February 13, 1974, in Paris) is a French director, animator, and illustrator, known for his distinctive visual style and poetic narratives. He first gained major international recognition with the short film *Skhizein* (2008), the surreal story of a man who finds himself living 91 centimeters away from himself, a work that earned him numerous awards at specialized festivals. His career reached its peak with the animated feature film *I Lost My Body* (*J'ai perdu mon corps*, 2019), based on the novel by Guillaume Laurant. The film, which follows the journey of a severed hand through Paris to reunite with its body, received worldwide critical acclaim. It won the Grand Prize at the International Critics' Week at the Cannes Film Festival, the first animated film to receive such an honor. It also won two César Awards (Best Animated Feature and Best Adapted Screenplay) and received an Academy Award nomination for Best Animated Feature Film, cementing Clapin as one of the most original voices in contemporary animation.
