Yann Demange (b. 1977, Paris) grew up in London and began his career filming live concerts and assisting on commercials and promotional music videos. His first short film Joe (2001) was accepted by the British Council as part of its festival programme. Other shorts followed, such as Incomplete, Alan and Samir and Headspace. Demange attended the National Film and Television School and in 2006 directed the comedy drama Man in a Box for Channel 4. This was followed by the five-part series "Dead Set" (BAFTA nomination for Best Drama Serial), the five-part series for the BBC "Criminal Justice" (BAFTA nomination for Best Director) and the series "Top Boy," again for Channel 4 (BAFTA nominations for Best Serial and Best Director). '71 is the director's feature debut, screened in the main competition at this year's Berlinale.
