Peter Lindsay Weir was born on August 21, 1944 n Sydney, Australia. He is an Australian film director.

His first feature film was The Cars that Ate Paris (1974), but he came to the forefront of the Australian film industry with the languid ghost story Picnic at Hanging Rock (1975) and Gallipoli (1980).

Peter then moved to America, and had international success with Witness (1985), Dead Poets Society (1989), Green Card (1990), and Fearless (1993).
