Hossam El Alali (born June 12, 2004) is a Moroccan director and screenwriter belonging to a new generation of filmmakers whose artistic approach is grounded in a solid, coherent, and demanding academic background.

His journey began at ENSAD, where he developed an early sense of aesthetic rigor and a deep understanding of the foundations of visual creation. He then pursued a bachelor’s degree in Audiovisual Studies at the Université Ibn Tofaïl, strengthening his command of cinematic language and the technical aspects of film production. He later joined the Master’s program in Film and Audiovisual Professions at Université Mohammed V, further affirming a structured, ambitious academic path clearly oriented toward excellence.

In 2024, he wrote and directed his first short film, Ode to Oblivion, which was selected for the official competition at the Festival National du Film de Tanger in the student film category, marking an early institutional recognition of his work. That same year, he directed the short documentary Echoes of the Heart, confirming his interest in diverse narrative forms and a sensitive exploration of reality. In 2025, he co-directed the short film I Can’t Bear the Extinction of Gentleness in This World, continuing a committed and contemporary artistic pursuit.

Drawing on multiple experiences across various production departments — including editing, cinematography, writing, and directing — he has developed a comprehensive approach to cinema that combines formal rigor, technical precision, and a strong authorial vision.
