Director

Rabah Ameur-Zaïmeche

Born in Algeria , Rabah Ameur-Zaïmeche arrived in France in 1968 in the time of the second great wave of Algerian immigration. He grew up in the city of Groves in Montfermeil, in Seine-Saint-Denis.

After studying humanities, in 1999 he founded the company Sarrazink Productions and in 2001 directed his first feature film Wesh Wesh, What Happens?
