Jean-Gabriel Périot

Jean-Gabriel Périot (1974, Bellac, France) has directed almost two dozens of short films, both on video and film. He has developed his own editing style of archive footage. Ranging from documentary to animation and experimental, most of his films deal with violence and history.

A German Youth is his first feature-length film.
