Marina Abramovic has won a two-year legal action against a French film-maker who committed copyright infringement by making two films, mainly based on her 1992 Biography piece, that misrepresented her work. Paris’s superior court also ruled that Abramovic is the co-author of the works in question—The Star (1998) and Balkan Baroque (1998)—which were directed by Pierre Coulibeuf and produced by Paris-based Regards Productions. Coulibeuf and Regards Productions were ordered to pay Abramovic over $150,000 in damages.
