BIO

Karim was born in Algiers to an Algerian father and a Brazilian mother. After Haiti and Senegal, he moved to Paris to study literature, philosophy and social sciences, while continuing to work in theater. He then entered the London Film School, where he directed Constant Flow. Back in Paris, he worked as a director, screenwriter and actor. His first short film, Le secret de Fatima, was selected and awarded at numerous festivals (Clermont-Ferrand, etc.) and broadcast on Arte. He then directed Racine(s), a segment of the feature film Paris la Métisse, before joining the Collectif Tribudom, which works with teenagers in the working-class districts of Paris and its suburbs, with whom he made several short films, the latest of which is Chantier(s). He has been working for over ten years, in France and Brazil, in image education. A real political field and of cinematographic experimentation, image education has enabled him to develop a practice based on collective writing. Six pieds sur terre makes its Spanish premiere in AFRIKALDIA.
