I'm an Algerian-born film director based in Hamburg and founder of Idle Films. In 2016, In launched together with Fernando Silvestrin Idle Shorts- 52 vignettes built around minimal narratives. It aims to create a cumulative effect and inspire over-connected humans to embrace idleness, rediscover lost pleasures and reconsider off-screen pastimes as essential to our human condition. As an independent filmmaker — I write, produce, and direct most of my film projects.
