Biography

Ali Akika, born February 15, 1945 in Jijel, Algeria, is an Algerian director, screenwriter, producer and film critic. He has lived in France since 1965, first studying political economy at university and then becoming a teacher. Also a film critic, he collaborates with various film magazines (under the name Ali Mocki, he notably published several articles on Algerian cinema in Cahiers du cinéma in 1973-75). By directing, with five other members of the “Cinéma-Vincennes” group, “L’Olivier: Who Are the Palestinians?”, he combines humanist utopia with political testimony, listening to immediate history. He will then direct several short films and then documentaries which provide an overview of the living conditions of immigrants and the prevailing racism as well as the countries of the South.
