Alain Tasma, born February 26, 1959 in Tunis, is a French film director and screenwriter. In 1981, he began his career as assistant director to François Truffaut on Truffaut's film 'The Woman Next Door', followed by Godard's 'Passion' in 1982 and Barbet Schroeder's 'Tricheurs' in 1984. Alain Tasma then began writing screenplays and directing. Since the late 1980s, he has directed films and series for television, which have met with both public and critical acclaim. He has twice won the Grand Prix for TV Film at the Cognac Crime Film Festival: in 1994 for 'La Bavure' (The Slaughter) with Clovis Cornillac and in 1999 for 'Les Duettistes: Une Débête Mortel' (The Dummies: A Deadly Debt). Since then, Alain Tasma has addressed numerous current affairs in documentaries and fiction, such as ‘Mata Hari, la vraie histoire’ (2003), ‘Nuit noire, 17 octobre 1961’ (2005), ‘Harkis’ (2006) and ‘Opération turquoise’ (2007). He is also the author of an adaptation of Balzac’s ‘Rastignac ou les ambitious’, in which Father Goriot is played by Charles Aznavour. Interested in historical and social issues, he regularly works with historian and documentary filmmaker Patrick Rotman.
