Jiang Yue (蒋樾, born 1962) is a Chinese documentary filmmaker, one of the central figures of the "New Chinese Documentary Film" movement. Born in Beijing, in 1988 he graduated from the National Academy of Chinese Theatre Arts (中国戏曲学院) with a degree in dramaturgy and screenwriting, after which he joined the Beijing Film Studio, where he worked under director Huang Jianzhong and participated in the creation of such films as "Police Officer of the Dragon Year" (龙年警官) and "Spring Festival" (过年).

From the early 1990s, Jiang turned to independent documentary film, traveling to Tibet, where he shot or co-directed four documentaries: "Tibetan Opera Troupe at the Monastery" (喇嘛藏戏团, 1991), "Residents of Snowy Lhasa" (拉萨雪居民, 1992), "Catholicism in Tibet" (天主在西藏, 1992) and "Sky Burial" (達木天葬台, together with Wen Pulin, 1992). Returning to Beijing, he joined the influential television documentary program "Oriental Horizon" (东方时空) and its documentary unit "Life Space" (生活空间), becoming one of the pioneers of the new observational documentary style in China thanks to such works as "Three Eastern Heroes" (东方三侠), "Opera Fans" (票友), "Going to Work" (上班) and "Miners" (矿工).

Jiang is especially known for documentaries exploring the tension between the life of an individual and large-scale historical and social transformations. Among his major works are "The Other Shore" (彼岸, 1995), "The Still River" (静止的河, 1998), "Happy Life" (幸福生活, 2000), "War of Love" (爱情战争, together with Duan Jinchuan, 2002) and "The Storm" (暴风骤雨) — a documentary study of land reform and historical memory in northeast China. Critics and fellow filmmakers often name Jiang, along with Wu Wenguang and Duan Jinchuan, as one of the most important pioneers of independent documentary in post-Mao China.

In 1998, Jiang, together with Kang Jianning and Duan Jinchuan, founded the studio Memento Films (年年三畅影像工作室), which produced documentary projects for such broadcasters as the BBC, ARTE and China Central Television. Throughout his career, Jiang emphasized the importance of documentary film as a means of preserving lived experience and historical memory, especially the voices of ordinary people whose stories might otherwise disappear from the historical record.
