Jean-Michel Roux

Renowned for his exploration of mysticism and spirituality in cinema, Jean-Michel Roux was born in 1964 in Paris, France. Active in the film industry since the 1990s, Roux is known for his distinctive style in documentary and fantasy genres, with his most famous works including "The Angel’s Melancholia" and "Investigation into the Invisible World," the latter of which won the Joris Ivens Award at the Amsterdam International Documentary Film Festival. His authorial style is marked by a transcendent blend of reality and illusion, often delving deeply into metaphysical themes and the unseen realms of the supernatural. With a keen eye for the extraordinary in the ordinary, Roux's films serve as bridges between the visible world and the unfathomable depths of human consciousness.
