Fatima Boubekdi
Fatima Boubekdi is a Moroccan filmmaker.
Biography[edit]
After a brief theatrical training in Casablanca, Boubekdi discovered a penchant for directing. She worked alongside Farida Bourquia in 1995 as an assistant director. A year later, she wrote screenplays with filmmakers Mohamed Ismaïl, Hassan Benjelloun and Abdelmajid R'chich.[1][2] In 1999, she directed her first television film, The Door of Hope.[3] In 2006, she won three prizes at the second edition of the National Amazigh Film Festival for Hammou Ounamir (Grand Prize, Best Directing) and Imouran (Best Screenplay).[4] In 2021, Boubekdi released her first feature film, Annatto. The filmmaker is very passionate about Amazigh culture, the primary language in many of her work being Berber,[5] as well as folklore and Moroccan history, both recurrent themes in her films.[6]
