Denis Héroux, OC (born July 15, 1940, Montreal, Quebec) is a Canadian film director and producer. ==Biography== Héroux wanted to become a teacher when he collaborated with Denys Arcand and Stéphane Venne on the 1962 film about life as a student, ''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 ''L'Initiation'' in 1970. In 1975, riding the success of several other popular features he directed, such as the swashbuckler ''Quelques arpents de neige'' (1973), he became involved in co-production projects and big-budget Quebec features. He went on to helm international co-productions with films such as ''Jacques Brel Is Alive and Well and Living in Paris'' (1975), ''Atlantic City'' (1980), and ''Quest for Fire'' (1981). He was a co-founder of Alliance Entertainment, a company he left in the late eighties. Héroux won a Best Picture Genie for producing ''Les Plouffe'' in 1981 and ''The Bay Boy'' in 1985. He also received an Oscar nomination for Best Picture for ''Atlantic City''. Héroux was a member of the jury at the 31st Berlin International Film Festival in 1981.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Berlinale 1981: Juries )〕 In 1983, Héroux was made an Officer of the Order of Canada.
