Mohamed Nadir Azizi (born 1 January 1941 in Miliana, Algeria) is an Algerian film director and documentary filmmaker. He directed documentaries produced by ONCIC in the 1970s, as well as at least one notable feature film, L'Olivier de Boulhilet (1978). [1] [2]
His documentaries from the 1970s show an interest in landscapes (e.g. Atlas), historical processes and symbolic figures (e.g. Hommage à l'Émir Abd El-Kader). His films combine a descriptive documentary approach with social and symbolic concerns in fiction, as shown in L'Olivier de Boulhilet, an allegory about modernisation and the rupture between tradition and progress.
