Yves Jeuland (born 1968) is a French author and director of more than thirty documentary films made for television and cinema, alternating archival and direct cinema films.

Many of his films are about political engagement or the practice of power. In particular, he traces the history of the French communists in Camarades in 2004, or of the French socialists in Le siècle des Socialistes in 2005. Before that, he followed, between 1999 and 2001, Bertrand Delanoë, for the Parisian municipal election in Paris à tout prix (7 d'Or of the best documentary series.) In 2010, for cinema, he directed Le Président where he filmed Georges Frêche during his last political campaign. Then in 2014, he has directed Un temps de président, a documentary on the daily of the French president François Hollande. His movie Les gens du Monde,[1] about the work of the journalists of the daily newspaper Le Monde was part of the Official Selection of the 2014 Cannes Film Festival.[2]

His work based on archival images has been rewarded several times:

In 2007 his film Comme un Juif en France (Being Jewish in France) a three-hour documentary on the history of Jews and anti-Semitism in France from the 19th century to the present day[3] (U.S. premiere on 4 August 2008 at the San Francisco Jewish Film Festival) won the Lia Award of Jerusalem Film Festival.

In 2013 and in 2017, he won the prize for the best television documentary by the French Syndicate of Cinéma Critics. Once for Il est minuit, Paris s'éveille - on post-war Parisian nights with the testimonies of Jean Rochefort, Juliette Gréco or Charles Aznavour, etc. The second time for Un Français nommé Gabin, a long portrait, exclusively composed of archives and extracts of films, on the career and the life of Jean Gabin. This film was also selected for the French Film Festival.

In 2021 is released in France "Charlie Chaplin, the genius of Liberty", a 2h25 documentary film, selected at Cannes Classics [4] (classic cinema section of the Cannes Festival) and previewed at the opening of the Lumière Film Festival in October 2020.
