About the Author

Background

As a film editor, I directed a short documentary in 2003 about the war in Iraq, my father's country. My film was selected in Festivals including: Les états généraux du documentaire (Lussas), les escales documentaires (la Rochelle), les écrans du réel (Beirut)...It was screened at the Cinéma des Cinéastes in Paris by "Documentaire sur grand écran" and on the ephemeral site "Arte-Le Louvre" in 2009. In 2012, I was in residence at the Moulin d'Andé for a project that did not see the light of day.I regularly intervene at the Lycée Suger in Saint-Denis with students in the Cinema section.Since 2020 I left Paris in order to devote myself more to documentary. In particular, I wrote a project for the production "Bootstrap Label" in 2021.Since the end of 2021 I am doing regular location scouting for my project "In what world do you live Canetti".
