Director's bio
Steven Spielberg
Steven Spielberg is one of the most influential filmmakers in cinema history, credited with shaping modern Hollywood through blockbusters like Jaws, E.T., and Jurassic Park, while also directing acclaimed dramas such as Schindler’s List and Saving Private Ryan. Born in 1946 in Cincinnati, Spielberg rose to prominence in the 1970s as a pioneer of the “New Hollywood” era. His breakthrough came with Jaws (1975), which essentially invented the summer blockbuster. He followed with Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977) and E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (1982), cementing his reputation for imaginative storytelling. In the 1980s and 1990s, Spielberg balanced adventure franchises like Indiana Jones with serious dramas, winning Academy Awards for Schindler’s List (1993) and Saving Private Ryan (1998). His later works include Minority Report (2002), Lincoln (2012), The Post (2017), West Side Story (2021), and his semi-autobiographical The Fabelmans (2022).
