Armand Gatti (French pronunciation: [aʁmɑ̃ ɡati]; 26 January 1924 – 6 April 2017) was a French playwright, poet, journalist, screenwriter, filmmaker and World War II resistance fighter.^[1] His debut film Enclosure was entered into the 2nd Moscow International Film Festival where he won the Silver Prize for Best Director.^[2] Two years later, his film El Otro Cristóbal was entered into the 1963 Cannes Film Festival.^[3]

According to his 1989 biographer, Dorothy Knowles, Gatti was born in 1924 in a shantytown in Monaco to Auguste Rainier an Italian anarchist from Piedmont, who escaped murder in a Chicago slaughterhouse because of his political activities and fled Benito Mussolini's regime and to Letizia Lusona a maid.^[4]

He died on 6 April 2017.^[5]

Gatti, like his father, was an anarchist. His works included themes of prisons and escape.^[6]
