Toute la filmographie

Amor Hakkar was born in 1958, in the Aurès, a mountain range in eastern Algeria. When he was six months old, the family left its home village to move to Besançon in France. After studying sciences, he discovered a passion for film and writing. He made a short film Apprends-moi à compter jusqu’à l’infini (1990) followed by a feature Sale temps pour un voyou (1992). In 2002, after a painful return to Algeria for his father’s funeral, he discovered the Aurès, crossing the mountains several times. Inspired by this journey, he wrote the script for La maison jaune which was shot in the Berber language in the Aurès region. He is currently preparing a new feature, Quelques jours de répit which he plans to make in Franche Comté, where he grew up, and this time in French. Amor Hakkar is also a literary writer: in 2001 his book La cité des fausses notes won the Marcel Aymé Prize.
