  Director and scriptwriter JEAN-PHILIPPE DUVAL
  has an impressive, success-filled career to his
  name. The cartoon-inspired style and originality of
  his first feature film, Matroni et moi (winner of
  eleven Jutra nominations) caught everyone's
  attention. In 2007-2008 he both wrote and
  directed his second feature film, Dédé, à travers
  les brumes
, the story of the life and work of the
  late Dédé Fortin, singer of Les Colocs. Between
  2004 and 2007 he wrote four seasons of the
  innovative, offbeat TV series États Humains which
  won him two nominations for best director. During
  the same period, Jean-Philippe conceived,
  co-directed and co-produced the series Martin sur
  la route
with Martin Picard, chef of Le Pied de
  Cochon with whom he also produced and directed
  the documentary DVD included in Au Pied de
  Cochon
's prize-winning book celebrating the
  Montreal restaurant's five years. He is also
  responsible for six other documentaries two of
  which were portraits of writers: La vie a du
  charme
(winner of several prizes) and Lumière
  des oiseaux
, (a Jutra nominee for Best
  Documentary). Other documentaries included Les
  réfugiés de la planète bleue
; and L’Odyssée
  Baroque
, a look at the Cirque du Soleil's first ten
  years. In 2002, he filmed the docu-series École de
  danse
followed by Marché Jean-Talon which won
  him two Gémeaux including Best Documentary
  Series. He is currently working on a new feature
  film project.
