Diane Sara Bouzgarrou
Born in Bordeaux in 1985 to a Tunisian father and French mother, Diane Sara Bouzgarrou is a filmmaker and visual artist. Since 2008, she has been developing an original and free-spirited body of work, blurring the boundaries of cinematic genres : documentary, essay, (auto)fiction, experimental. She also creates installations and participates in several solo and group exhibitions. Diane Sara Bouzgarrou's work is populated by characters haunted by solitude and exiled within themselves. Both raw and sensitive, her films explore moments of rupture and return to the light. Her film, I Remember Nothing (2017) was acclaimed at festivals in France and abroad (Cinéma du Réel, Torino Film Festival, RIDM). In 2020, she co-directed The Last Hillbilly with Thomas Jenkoe, selected for the ACID section of the Cannes Film Festival.
