Jean-Claude Lauzon (September 29, 1953 – August 10, 1997) was a Canadian filmmaker. Born to a humble family in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, Lauzon worked a variety of odd jobs after dropping out of high school. He went on to study film at the Université du Québec à Montréal at the behest of Andre Petrowski, a member of the National Film Board of Canada. His two feature-length films, Night Zoo (Un zoo la nuit), and Léolo, established him as one of the most important Canadian directors of his time.
