Mathieu Denis is a Canadian screenwriter and film director from Quebec.[1] He is best known for his films Corbo, which was a Canadian Screen Award and Quebec Cinema Award nominee for Best Picture in 2016, and Those Who Make Revolution Halfway Only Dig Their Own Graves (Ceux qui font les révolutions à moitié n'ont fait que se creuser un tombeau), which won the award for Best Canadian Film at the 2016 Toronto International Film Festival.[2]

Denis made several short films before his feature film debut, Laurentia (Laurentie), in 2011.[3] The most noted of his short films was Code 13, which was named to TIFF's annual year-end Canada's Top Ten list in 2007.[4]

Most but not all of his films have been made in collaboration with Simon Lavoie.[3]
