Mathieu Le Lay

Mathieu’s passion for cinema and nature guided him to perform a year of study at IFFCAM, the French wildlife film school, after he graduated in wildlife conservation at Salford University (UK). Images are for him a way to share his passion for nature and wildlife, and above all to show the strong bond between humans and nature. Since 2008 he has been directing films (21 international awards) to tell stories about his fascination for strong interactions between man and the wild environment. The documentary film genre allows him to stage his characters playing at their own role, adopting a more intimate approach when filming in the field. He also looks for personal aesthetics and evocative atmosphere in his visual style and cinematography.
