Karin Albou is a French-Algerian female director, writer, editor, producer and actress.
Early life [ edit ]
Karin Albou was born on March 12, 1968[1] in Neuilly-sur-Seine to Jewish Algerian immigrant parents. Her mother was only 16 when she was born.[2]
In 1999 she moved to Tunisia. A year later, she returned to Paris and started her career as a filmmaker and as a writer.
As a child, Albou was always involved with dance and singing. After high school, Karin continued to study dance, but also studied literature and drama, eventually enrolling in a film school in Paris. She studied screenwriting but discovered she wanted to be a director while taking classes at École Supérieure de Réalisation Audiovisuelle . After graduating, she released her first short film, Hush!.
Albou made her feature film debut in 2005 with Little Jerusalem ,International Critics' Week section at the 2005 Cannes Film Festival . Despite being Albou's first feature film, she was disqualified from competing for the Camera d'Or, awarded to the best first film playing at the festival, because she had previously directed a made-for-TV movie.[3]
In 2008 Albou released her second feature film The Wedding Song Holocaust drama set in Tunisia in 1942 that was loosely inspired by letters Albou's paternal grandmother had sent to her husband during the war when he was sent to a labour camp.[4] [5] My Shortest Love Affair, which she co-starred in, was released in 2015.[6]
Styles and themes [ edit ]
Karin's heritage explains some of the themes she chooses to cover. Raised in the Jewish faith, Karin's films explore the lasting trauma of the Holocaust[7] [8] [9] [10] [11]
The director also explores and challenges the rules of religion and marriage and the themes of love, sex and family values.[12] [13] [14]
