Luc Jacquet is a French film director and screenwriter, born in 1967, known internationally for his nature documentaries centered on the emperor penguins of Antarctica and other wildlife subjects. His 2005 film March of the Penguins, which he wrote and directed, followed the emperor penguin's yearly breeding migration across the Antarctic ice and became a major worldwide box office success for a nature documentary, winning the Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature in 2006 and earning a Writers Guild of America nomination for its screenplay. The film's success established Jacquet as a leading figure in nature and environmental filmmaking, and he went on to found the Wild Touch production company to continue producing documentaries on climate and wildlife themes. Jacquet's work is notable for combining rigorous field observation with an accessible narrative style intended to bring scientific and environmental subjects to a broad popular audience rather than a specialist one.
