Director Biography

Joachim Michaux was born in France in 1988. Before switching focus to his own creative ideas, he worked for several years in the film industry. Joachim developed his practice by directing short documentary essays, with a self-taught approach at first before benefiting from a subvention that allowed him to make his film The American, selected in several international festivals. He was then admitted to Le Fresnoy, where he is currently sharpening his practice.
