Biography

Middle child between two brothers, born to a Syrian father and an Italian-rooted mother, Sarah Al-Atassi is a versatile French artist engaged in visceral filmmaking: a cinema that magnifies marginal figures. Through sensory and impactful storytelling, the writer-director depicts our times by confronting reality with its inner subversion. Thus embodied, truth drops words for flesh, breaking free from societal cages through hypersensitive and hybrid body language.

Sarah's film-work ventures beyond genres and frames, beyond borders and names, to explore identity without labels. Step into a jubilant universe where a neat-punk aesthetic meets committed thematics, where fire and form, grit and grace, merge in cinematic embrace.
