Daniel Duranleau
Daniel Duranleau is a Canadian filmmaker who has been active on the Quebec film scene for over 15 years. A great defender of the poetic value of movies, he shapes his cinema with fantastical imagery in order to tackle themes that are dear to him: the human psyche, family relationships, and power dynamics. Following his short film Mizbrük (2015), Winkie is the second installment of an anticipated trilogy of films about monsters.
