Biography: Mourad Ben Cheikh has a great interest in both the plasticity of the image and the narration. It is the fruit of his youthful passion for photography, of his time at the school of fine arts in Tunis, then to the solid theoretical training (History of cinema, semiology, dramaturgies ...) acquired and crowned by a degree from the University of Bologna, Italy. We find the imprint of these two formations in his documentaries, the shepherd of the stars, Mare Nostrum, History in the Mediterranean, A season between hell and paradise.In 2011, he directed his first feature-length documentary Plus Jamais Peur.
