Julian Ballester
Julian Ballester holds a master's degree in documentary filmmaking from Aix-Marseille University. During this program, he directed Rue Curiol (2013), a documentary that tells the story and journey of three transgender sex workers at a time when their street was disappearing. He later moved to Canada, where he continued to explore life on the streets. Midnight Ramblers (2017), his second film, was created with a group of five drug addicts, filmed at night on the streets of downtown Montreal. For Ballester, documentary cinema serves as a gateway to marginal worlds and territories he would never have otherwise been able to access.
