Oussama Mohammed

Oussama Mohammed was born on 21 March 1954 in Latakia and graduated in 1979 from the Moscow film school. The year before, he had made a short film about the way poor children are turned into soldiers ready to kill; thirty-five years later, Berlin screened it. An assistant to Mohamed Malas, he then made few films, two feature-length fiction films in fifteen years, one of them presented at Cannes in 2002. Having left for Paris in 2011, he completed there a self-portrait of Syria at war, awarded a prize in London, and in 2016 received a prize in Valencia.
