Pierre Dominique Gaisseau was a French documentary film-maker best known for Sky Above and Mud Beneath, which was awarded the first Oscar for a documentary. The film is an account of an expedition into the previously unexplored wilds of Netherlands New Guinea, accomplished in 1959 by a small team of French and Dutch explorers under Gaisseau's leadership. His other films were not limited to remote areas, and Sky Above and Mud Beneath is listed here as a work.
