He studied economics at Paris-Dauphine University and theatre at the Université internationale du théâtre in Paris, then cinema at the Insas in Brussels. Director of photography on his own films as on those of other filmmakers, he devoted his documentaries to colonial history and to what it left in Moroccan memory; one of his films was restored by Martin Scorsese's World Cinema Foundation and presented at Cannes in 2007, at the launch of the foundation. He was made Officer of the Arts and Letters the same year.
