Julien Falardeau

Julien Falardeau’s first touch with directing was through documentary short films such as De sang et d’urine (2019) and 9000 TOURS (2019), made during his studies at L’École des Médias at Université du Québec à Montréal. Human experience, anthropology, and the filmmaking language are themes that tint his artistic process. I, Sun (2022) is his first fiction short film.
