This portrait from the "Algerian Filmmakers" collection, created by Linda Tahir-Meriau, focuses on Mohamed Chouikh, born in 1943 in Mostaganem, an Algerian actor and director. In 1965, he starred in one of the first major Algerian films, "L'Aube des Damnés" (The Dawn of the Damned) by René Vautier and Ahmed Rachedi. In 1966, he appeared in "Le Vent des Aurès" (The Wind of the Aurès) by Mohammed Lakhdar-Hamina. The film won the Best First Feature Award at Cannes. Until 1970, Mohamed Chouikh devoted himself primarily to his acting career in theater and film. It was Michel Drach's film, "Elise Ou La Vraie Vie" (Elise, or Real Life), based on the novel by Claire Etcherelli, that brought him to the attention of French audiences. In the 1970s, he became a director for Algerian television. In 1989, he directed "The Citadel", which was selected for more than 70 international festivals and won around twenty awards.
