Denis Héroux
Denis Héroux (July 15, 1940 – December 10, 2015) was a film director and producer born in Montreal, Quebec. He first collaborated with Denys Arcand and Stéphane Venne on the 1962 film Seul ou avec d’autres. That year he went on to become a teacher and for the next six years, in addition to teaching, he also wrote two history books and continued to direct. By the late 1960s Héroux had become one of the most successful independent filmmakers with hits like 1968's Valérie and Here and Now (L'Initiation) in 1970. In 1975, he became involved in co-production projects and big-budget Quebec features as partner with his wife Justine Héroux in Ciné-Vidéo. He was a co-founder of Alliance Films, a company he left in the late eighties. In 1983, Héroux was made an Officer of the Order of Canada.
