Tewfik Farès

Tewfik Farès was born in 1937 in Bordj Bou Arreridj, into a family originally from Amalou, in the Soummam valley, and grew up in Algiers. The film club of the Ben Aknoun lycée decided his vocation; in 1955 he joined the French radio and television service, which trained camera operators on the job, then studied in France, as far as the Sorbonne. A journalist, he began in 1963 in the Algerian filmed press, where he signed more than two hundred newsreels, and wrote for Mohamed Lakhdar-Hamina two screenplays awarded at Cannes. Back in Paris, he conceived and directed a weekly France 3 programme on immigrant cultures.
