Tariq Teguia (Arabic: تقية طارق) is an Algerian director and screenwriter born in Algiers on December 12, 1966. After studying philosophy and visual arts, Tariq Teguia was a freelance photographer for an Algerian daily newspaper, assistant to a photographer and professor of contemporary art history at the Algiers School of Fine Arts. In 2001, he defended his doctoral thesis at Paris VIII University entitled Robert Frank, cartographic fictions. He began directing with four short films: "Kech'mouvement" (1996), Le Chien (1996), Ferrailles d'attendance (1998) and La Clôture (2002). “Rome Rather Que Vous”, distributed in France in 2008, is his first feature film. The film recounts a few hours of Zina (Samira Kaddour) and Kamel (Rachid Amrani) leaving in a suburb of Algiers, La Madrague, in search of an improbable way to leave Algeria. The film was presented at the Venice Film Festival in 2007, at the Belfort Festival 2007 (Grand Jury Prize and Best Actor Prize for Samira Kaddour) and at the Friborg Festival 2007 (Special Jury Prize). His film "Inland" (Gabbla) (2008) was presented in competition at the 2008 Venice Film Festival. In 2007 and then in 2013, the Entrevues International Film Festival in Belfort awarded him two grand prizes for, respectively, his feature film " Rome Rather Than You", and his feature film Revolution "Zendj".
