After graduating from Fine Arts, François Vautier worked with contemporary art galleries in Paris. He then embarked upon a collaboration with ARTE (a European television network). Connecting with Raphael Nadjari he founded "A Bout Portant" and "Filmmaker Factory" whereby he continued to produce highly creative opening titles and his first feature film: the thriller "le P'tit Bleu". Continuing his research in design, François expanded on new processes of shooting in virtual studios. His second feature film "Déjà Vu" is a science fiction film. The story of a teenager in a futuristic fable where the reality merges with the virtual. He then prolongs the exploration of "Parallel Worlds" in the realization of "Twenty Show", the first user generated film (co-directed by Godefroy Fouray).

Between 2010 and 2012 he directed 3 experimental short films: "Blade Runner Revisited" (shown on Canal+), "Abandonned Places" and "Antz in my Scanner" (shown on US Network) which were screened at many festivals through the world, including the Universal Exhibition in Shanghai after totaling several million views on the web. In 2010, he directed the official film presented by France at the Rencontres Internationales in Davos. He has also worked with other prestigious organizations such as the National Museums of France and the Royal Opera of London in 2012. In 2013, he created the scenography of the CNES pavilion at the Salon du Bourget and then the preview show at the Futuroscope Planetarium in Poitier in 2014. He has also worked with "Virgin", "Coca Cola" and "Kering" and has directed films about the artificial retina: "Pixium" and "Gensight".

Between 2014 and 2016 he directed clips and title sequences for cinema ("E Sembene" by Souleymane Cissé and "L'AMI" ) as well as for TV series ("Pigalle la Nuit" Canal+, "Signature" France 2, "Au delà des murs" Arte). Constantly seeking out new processes, in 2017 he directed "I Saw The Future", a stereoscopic VR film, presented in official competition at the Venice International Film Festival and broadcasted on the ARTE VR 360 platform, as well as on television. The film has been presented in more than 50 festivals all over the world.
