Brisbane, Australia: The Australian Directors Guild says award-winning Australian filmmaker Paul Cox has died. He was 76.
The guild did not disclose the cause of death, but Cox said last year that his transplanted liver had cancer.
He wrote and directed the 2015 movie "Force of Destiny," starring David Wenham, which follows the journey of a man who finds love while waiting for a life-saving liver transplant.
The film was loosely based on Cox's own cancer battle before a transplant in 2009 pulled him back from the brink.
Cox was born on April 16, 1940, in Venlo, in the southeast Netherlands, and migrated to Australia in 1965 as a professional photographer.
His credits include 19 feature films and 12 documentaries.
