Habib Louati

Habib Louati, the cinematic maestro of the East. Born in 1965 in the heart of Tunisia, Sfax, Louati embarked on his directorial journey in the late 1980s, mastering the craft of drama and documentary filmmaking. His most celebrated works include "The Forgotten of History" and "The Last Bedouin", lauded on an international level, albeit not earning recognition at the prominent film festivals.
