Working in both documentary and fiction, Yan Giroux’s films emphasize the cinematic experience. Frequently employing long sequence shots, Giroux explores the temporality and geography of spaces in his films. He has directed three feature-length documentaries and several short dramatic works. Surveillant (2011) was presented in competition at the prestigious Sundance Film Festival in 2012, before winning the prize for Best Short Film at the San Francisco International Film Festival. Mi niña mi vida (2013) was also selected for Sundance, before travelling to festivals around the world.
