  The elliptic flow of inclusive and direct photons was measured by ALICE for
central and semi-central Pb--Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{_{\mathrm{NN}}}}=2.76$
TeV. The photons were reconstructed using the electromagnetic calorimeter PHOS
and the central tracking system. The inclusive photon flow reconstructed with
both methods are combined and used to extract the direct photon flow, using a
decay photon simulation and the direct photon excess R$_{\gamma}$, in the
transverse momentum range $0.9 < p_\mathrm{T} < 6.2$ GeV/c. We find agreement
to earlier results obtained at RHIC, and the theoretical predictions generally
under-predict the results.
