Abdellatif Kechiche

Abdellatif Kechiche is a French director and screenwriter of Tunisian origin. His films Games of Love and Chance (2003) and The Secret of the Grain, winners of numerous César and FIPRESCI awards, earned him international recognition. In 2013, his most daring and also most controversial film to date, Blue Is the Warmest Colour, received the Palme d’Or at the Cannes Film Festival, confirming Kechiche’s position among the most significant filmmakers of his generation. Since then, Kechiche has devoted himself to a free adaptation of François Bégaudeau’s novel La Blessure, la vraie, a project that gave rise to the Mektoub, My Love trilogy, comprising Canto Uno (2017), Intermezzo (2019) and Canto Due (2025), which premiered respectively at the Venice, Cannes and Locarno festivals.
