Biography

Julius-Amédée Laou, born on February 9th, 1950, is a distinguished filmmaker, playwright, theatre director, and writer. Hailing from Paris with Martinican roots, Laou made his mark with the short films "Open Mic Solitaire" and "Mist Melodies in Paris." He later expanded his cinematic vision with two notable feature films: "The Old Sorceress and the Valet" (1987) and "Zouk, Marriage and Ouélélé!" (2004). A compelling voice representing the Caribbean diaspora, Laou masterfully blends sharp-witted comedy to unveil the stark contrasts of a Black individual's experience in France. His films, imbued with fervent outrage, range from the fiery and thought-provoking to the tranquil and comical.
