Filmmaker, photographer and critic, Samy Benammar holds a master's degree in film studies from the Université de Montréal,. His Algerian and working-class origins are central to his experimental work, which questions the socio-political stakes of archival and current images. His practice is as much interested in film (super 8, 16mm or 35mm), digital and analog media. This hybridization tends to question the interactions between technicality and politics of images.
