Daniel Froidevaux is a documentary filmmaker, cinematographer, and video artist whose work has been exhibited in galleries and festivals in Canada and internationally. Froidevaux is particularly interested in how the aesthetic strategies of non-fiction cinema can be used to explore and critique ideas that constitute our understanding of the world and of ourselves. He believes that documentary cinema offers the possibility of unique modes of knowledge, communication, and interaction–he is committed to cinema as a space for contemplation. His most recent film, The Quiet Zone (2017), co-directed with Elisa Gonzalez, premiered at Hot Docs in 2017, culminating a 5 year long project that first came to life as video installation at Pierre François Art Contemporain gallery in Montréal. Froidevaux holds an MFA in Documentary Media from Ryerson University.
