Nadir Taji (2000) is a Moroccan-Italian director and screenwriter. Born in Cremona, he lived in Mantua before moving to Rome to study Filmmaking at Centro Sperimentale di Cinematografia. He began working on television sets, then shot a few short films and documentaries of his own, driven by a strong interest in stories dealing with themes such as family ties, the search for truth, individual responsibility, and intergenerational and cultural ‘short-circuits’.
