About

Film editor and post-production specialist bringing a meticulous eye for narrative structure and cinematic realism to independent cinema and visual storytelling. Backed by a Master’s degree in Film Criticism and Audiovisual Studies from Djillali Liabes University, I combine theoretical storytelling rigor with cutting-edge post-production workflows.
My editing portfolio spans feature-length documentaries (Accept Me), festival-selected narrative shorts (BETWEEN), and self-directed works (Chronological). Having collaborated closely with independent directors across fiction and documentary formats, I excel at turning raw footage into tightly paced, emotionally resonant stories.
What sets my approach apart is a deep commitment to slow-cinema aesthetics, intentional pacing, and narrative precision. Whether refining a complex feature cut or polishing a short form visual piece, I deliver work that respects both the director’s vision and the audience’s intelligence.
