BIOGRAPHIE

Director, screenwriter France After a two-year diploma in history and geography, Foued Mansour briefly went to film school, but soon preferred to confront the practical reality of filming. He directed Yvan le prévisible in 2005, a satire on marriage. Following a meeting with a welfare advisor, he wrote La raison de l’autre, a short film that deals with the questioning of a social worker faced with someone on the dole. With the help of the Picardy Regional Council, it was filmed in Creil, in the real place where welfare offices are located. The film would ultimately be nominated for the César in 2010. With Un homme debout, a short film from 2011, he tackles the theme of personal growth and the right to a second chance. The film won the Beaumarchais Prize for Screenplay at the Brest Festival, before being shortlisted for the César for Best Short Film in 2012. The following year, he directed a new short La dernière caravane, a social western shot in black and white which was presented at the Clermont-Ferrand, New York and Los Angeles festivals, then won the Beaumarchais prize for screenplay at the Cinemed festival in Montpellier. The film was then selected for the César for best short film in 2014. In 2019, his new film, Le chant d’Ahmed, received the 2019 Unifrance Grand Prize before being nominated for the 2020 César. A social reality filmmaker, Foued is currently writing his first feature film. SHORT FILMS Director, screenwriter 2005: La barrière des préjugés (codir.
