He is the son of film director Bertrand Tavernier. Nils Tavernier was born on 1 September 1965 in Normandy, France, the son of director, screenwriter, actor, and producer Bertrand Tavernier and Colo Tavernier O'Hagan. Tavernier made his first screen appearance in a film by his father, Spoiled Children in 1977 while still a teenager. He landed additional roles in feature films such as Beatrice in 1987, L.627 in 1991, and Revenge of the Musketeers in 1993 which was directed by his father. He also played supporting roles in Claude Chabrol's drama film Story of Women (1988) and Miloš Forman's period film Valmont (1988). He also appeared in Brigitte Roüan's After Sex in 1996, and Sylvie Verheyde's Un frère... in 1997. Tavernier started his career as a director making short films and documentaries. In Etoiles: Dancers of the Paris Opera Ballet (2001), he explored his passion for dance with Etoiles. He co-directed with his father the documentary Histoires de vies brisées: les 'double peine' de Lyon (2001). In 2009, he directed the documentary The Mystery of Twins. In 2012, he performed with Gil Rabier a documentary about medical errors, What is left of our mistakes? This film is supported by the French Ministry of Health and Public-Hôpitaux de Paris. In 2013, he returned to the themes of childhood, disability, and commitment with the film Of all our forces. Tavernier has also directed two documentaries for television: L'odyssée de la vie in 2004, in which he questioned the sexuality of the French, and L'odyssée de la vie in 2006, following a woman throughout her pregnancy and its affirmation as a mom within the couple.

Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
