Alfred Machin (born April 20, 1877 in Westhove, died June 16, 1929 in Nice, France) was one of the rare French film directors whose films expressed progressivist tendencies before World War I. Ironically it turns out during this war his films of the current events were of cinematographic service to the French Army. After 1920, Alfred Machin devoted himself in particular to films of animals. Alfred Machin was a very prolific film director who directed in all more than one hundred films.
