For his contributions as an explorer, producer and documentary filmmaker whose works have given us a multitude of windows onto the world.
President and co-founder of the Groupe Via le Monde production company, Daniel Bertolino is first and foremost a tireless explorer and exceptional documentary filmmaker. Since the late 1960s, he has travelled across the five continents, producing and shooting nearly 1 000 films that have opened multiple windows onto the world. Through a compassionate lens, he has given us greater insight into different cultures and invited us to consider major international issues. Moreover, he has been a guide and mentor to the next generation, in particular working with young filmmakers from Aboriginal and other cultural communities.
