Born in Alexandria (Egypt), Adolf El Assal has spent most of his childhood between the UAE, UK, France and Luxembourg. After his graduation with a MA in filmmaking from Kingston University (UK) in 2008, his first feature film as a producer, DIVIZIONZ was selected at the Berlin International Film Festival and was screened at over 100 festivals plus it was sold to more than 30 territories. In 2011, he directed the award-winning short films LA FAMEUSE ROUTE... and MANO DE DIOS.
In 2012, he completed his first feature film LES FAMEUX GARS, that he produced, directed and successfully distributed in French-speaking countries. He has recently completed his second feature film SAWAH, which had a very solid international film festival run (over 80 selections, 21 prizes) and is the first feature film by a Luxembourg director to be sold to Netflix (46 countries). It has just been released on DVD/Blu-Ray in the US across 5000 Walmart stores.
