Timeline

1965

Christophe Ruggia (born 7 January 1965) is a French film director and screenwriter.

1991

In 1991, he conceived and produced a short film as part of a campaign against HIV/AIDS in the West Indies entitled, Sovè l'anmou.

1993

Christophe Ruggia is a graduate of the Free Conservatory of French Cinema (Conservatoire libre du cinéma français), and laureate of the Fondation Marcel Bleustein-Blanchet in 1993.

After L'Enfance Égarée (1993), a short film released in theaters in the program Four Urban Legends, he directed his first feature, Le Gone du Chaâba (film) (1997), that was nominated at the César Awards.

2001

Cangioni had to quit the filming of Les Diables in 2001 due to "burnout" and she is presented by Marianne as being one of the four people who, during the investigation by Médiapart, claimed "to have felt something abnormal" in the relationship between Ruggia and Haenel during the shooting.

A preliminary investigation was opened by the Paris prosecutor's office for counts of sexual harassment and sexual assault "on a minor under 15 years by a person in authority", and has been entrusted to the Central Directorate of the Judicial Police.

2002

He directed two other feature films, Les Diables (2002) and Dans la tormente (2011).

2003

Ruggia became known for his numerous activist commitments, and, according to Libération, he was several times co-president or vice-president between 2003 and June 2019 of the Société des réalisateurs de films (SRF, "Society of Film Directors"), as well as co-chair for the period 2014-2015.

According to Libération in 2003, "he played a preponderant role in the coordination of the struggle" of recurring status entertainment workers.

2005

In 2005, shortly before the conviction of director Jean-Claude Brisseau for sexual harassment, he was one of the signatories of a petition in support of the latter launched by Les Inrockuptibles.

This petition denounces "the way in which certain media have reported on the trial against him".

2010

In the 2010s, he signed numerous forums and petitions, defending in particular undocumented workers, high school students engaged against police violence, Cédric Herrou—known for his help to migrants—and human rights in Syria.

2015

In 2015, he launched with other filmmakers "The Call of Calais", which denounces a disengagement of the French government from the problem of the Calais Jungle, where thousands of migrants lived in miserable conditions.

He is the initiator of a support movement in France for the Ukrainian filmmaker Oleg Sentsov, an opponent of the annexation of Crimea, who was sentenced by Russia in 2015 to twenty years in prison for "acts of terrorism" and "arms trafficking" during a trial described as "Stalinist" by Amnesty International.

2018

When the Ukrainian filmmaker did not eat for three months, Ruggia launched in September 2018 with a collective of filmmakers a rotating hunger strike that he organized in front of the Russian embassy in Paris.

2019

On 3 November 2019, an article appeared in Mediapart in which actress Adèle Haenel accused Ruggia of "touching" and "sexual harassment", when she was between twelve and fifteen years old.

Ruggia refuted the accusations through his lawyers and in a right of reply published on Mediapart on 6 November 2019, writing: "I never had towards her, I repeat, the physical gestures and the behavior of sexual harassment of which she accuses me, but I made the mistake of playing Pygmalion with the misunderstandings and the obstacles that such a posture gives rise to, such as the hold on the actress he has directed and with which he dreamed of shooting again", and asking her for forgiveness, saying that his "adulation" for Haenel could have been "painful at times" for her, declaring: "At the time, I had not seen that my adulation and the hopes that I placed in her might have appeared to her, given her young age, as painful at times. If so, and if she can, I ask her to forgive me"; however, at the same time he denounced a "media pillory" against him.

The Société des réalisateurs de films (SRF) launched a delisting procedure against him.

Director Mona Achache, Ruggia's former romantic partner, testified for the investigation of Mediapart: "He had confided to me to have feelings of being in love for Adèle during the promotional tour of Les Diables."

Achache claims that he told her about a precise instance of physical contact with Haenel, in which Ruggia "got his hand on the belly of Adèle and then ran it up to her chest, under a T-shirt", while they were watching a film together and Adèle was lying with her head on his knees.

According to the claim, Ruggia, seeing fear in Haenel's eyes, and getting scared himself, then withdrew his hand.

Achache stated that she remained silent because it "seemed unfair to her to speak for Adèle Haenel", and that afterwards she left Ruggia.

In an interview presented as a "counter-investigation" in Marianne, Ruggia claimed that the rupture between him and Achache took place after he found her with another man on a set and that it was he who left the apartment where they lived together.

He adds to having confided to his partner, at the beginning of their relationship, his "fascination" for Haenel, but, according to him, "the rest is only pure invention".

According to this "counter-investigation", Achache is still friends with Laetitia Cangioni.

2020

Following this, Haenel filed a complaint against Ruggia, who was indicted on 16 January 2020 for "sexual assault on a 15-year-old minor by a person having authority over the victim".
