Portrait de Louise Gholam. Photo Aurélien Mole

Born in 1997. Lives and works in Paris (FR/LB). Junior AC/DP and Franco-Lebanese director, Louise Gholam grew up between the tranquility of the French countryside and the tumultuous city of Beirut. Now based between London and Paris, she is developing her practice with video as her preferred medium, following a master’s degree in Visual Communication at the Royal College of Art in London. Using a journalistic methodology around ideas of collective memory and “filmic politics”, she explores the subject of “neo-diasporic” identities. She joined curator and writer Roisin Tapponi alongside 4 other women; Nour Helou, Reman Sadani, Bella Barkett and Isra Al Kassi, to be part of Habibi Collective as creator of archive workshops/lecture series for the platform. Founded in 2018, Habibi Collective is an open access resource, digital archive and curation platform for women’s cinema from Southwest Asia and North Africa. She recently joined the team at Al Hayya, a magazine that publishes literary and visual content on women’s works, interests and conflicts, bilingually, in Arabic and English. Louise Gholam is also part of Divé+ and FALC (Women on Camera), two platforms encouraging diversity in French cinema.
