Ahmed Lallem

Died in 2009

Ahmed Lallem was born in 1940 in Sétif and began as a war reporter in the Algerian-Tunisian border zone. After a placement at Yugoslav television and eight months at the film school in Paris, he joined the FLN's audiovisual group in Tunis, where he met Mohamed Lakhdar-Hamina again, then studied from 1963 to 1966 at the national film school in Łódź. He then devoted some fifteen short films to the cultural realities of the country and its taboos, including AIDS. Under pressure from the Islamists, he went into exile in France in the mid-nineties and died in Tours on 19 October 2009.
