Hicham Lasri, born April 13, 1977 is a casablancais artist: a film director, producer, screenwriter, novelist, comic books’ creator, and lately also a singer in his own band Chic Chocs. Since the age of 16, Hicham Lasri was a compulsive storyteller.

Hicham Lasri started off writing screenplays and plays for the Theatre which he got back to doing this very year. In chronological order Hicham Lasri wrote for the theatre: (K)Rêve (2007), Larmes de joie un jour de Zemzem (2008), & Les invisibles (2019) which he also directed.

In his six feature films he tackles the most taboo topics he can find, so frontally that talking about his movies becomes taboo. His trademark being dissidence, people think twice before approaching his work.

In his six feature films he tackles the most taboo topics he can find, so frontally that talking about his movies becomes taboo. His trademark being dissidence, people think twice before approaching his work. In six years, his six movies The End (2012), They Are The Dogs (2013), The Sea is Behind (2015), Starve Your Dog (2016), Headbang Lullaby (2017) & Jahilya (2018) : premiered at CANNES, twice, TIFF, once & BERLINALE, four times. The freshness of Lasri’s vision allowed the teams’ of these respectable cinema festivals to choose his movies on bases other than tokenism and naive cultural diversity quotas. To this day, his movies escape the clichés usually found in North African cinema, and we are happy to say: no Arab was ever a terrorist in a Lasri movie, which is a post 9/11 rarity. His last movie Jahiliya was the final light streak in a sequel of dreams and nightmares embroidered in the national trauma related to the late political regime. The artisan is now on feature film break, taking in enough momentum before kickstarting his seventh film which is currently in the pre-production phase.

During this break, Hicham wrote, directed and produced three short movies, namely, Love in Aleppo (2018) , WASTELAND (2018) & The Male Gaze (2018). We gladly share with you the fruits of some of the most experimental projects of the artist to date. He also wrote 1 novel, 1 graphic novel, started surfing and then made wrote and directed three other short movies: Cruelty Free (2019) Androides & Zombies (2019) & The Last Arab Movie (2019)…okay you get the idea, it’s not a break.

Hicham Lasri is also a novelist of three. Static (2012) , Sainte Rita (2015), Bobblehead (2019) are three novels about many different things but what your average fourth cover will not tell you is that they are intricate ravings that serve as the steel beams to Lasri’s fictional universe. What Hicham Lasri’s novels tell us is this: The protagonist will suffer, the more dominant group will be made of stulti, the love story won’t have a happy ending, the music will exclusively be Rock n’ Roll, and the linearity won’t make it to the final draft. Upcoming are his two novels "L'improbable Fable de Lady Bobblehead" (2020) a science fiction novel about losing one's soul and trying not to lose one's head.

For the national TV, Hicham Lasri makes movies, sitcoms and shows that he describes as works that are made to be viewed inside a family’s home without hurting any domestic sensibilities.

The opus mixtum goes on as we have yet to speak of the web series Hicham Lasri wrote, directed and produced for his online fans’ eyes only. In only two years Hicham Lasri’s original content on youtube generated millions of views, comments and so much hate that we know for sure: the internet loves it! In No Vaseline Fatwa (2016) Hicham Lasri uses Youtube’s codes to tell surreal truths such as those of the freelance terrorist Vlogger documenting his daily life, live from a cave in Afghanistan and in Bissara Overdose (2017) a frustrated single woman’s ramblings become a funny, trashy, Youtube version of No-sex & The City.

The web series Caca Mind is a sarcastic fuck-off to the ambient lack of public spirit found in Moroccan society.

Quotes by Hicham Lasri (?)

“merci à tous les connards, les esprits stériles, les têtes vides et les créateurs d'étrons qui cherchent à faire bloquer les vidéos de ‪#‎NO_VASELINE_FATWA‬ sur Youtube en les signalant comme contenu abusif sachez que c'est des vidéos protégées dans mon disque dur, sur DCP et surtout dans le coeur des fans & que la révolution est inéluctablement en route :) et puis je vais sortir un DVD et un BLURAY collector de la série dans quelques semaines pour terminer le blitzkrieg No Vaseline Fatwa.
je renonce à mes droits d'auteur sur No Vaseline Fatwa, ca appartient à ceux qui veulent la propager. donc fuck la pensée unique. vive Orwell. Vive Guy Fawkes. Fuck 1984 (ou l'inverse)
à ces connards qui se sont concertés massivement pour bloquer ces vidéos, je dédie l'épisode #3 de K7al Rass pour trouver un sens à leur vie et une recette de cuisine originale...
merci pour la liberté de création, merci pour la bêtise, merci pour l'art propre, merci de me faire de la pub gratuitement... et pour ceux qui veulent No Vaseline Fatwa 2. ils faut partager et téléchargera saison#1 et comme dit Gi Scott-heron : The Revolution Won't be...”

“Quand j’ai sorti la série « Khal Ras » qui relève plus du documentaire de création, des gens se sont mis en colère, car il ne fallait pas dire de gros mots. Avec « Bissara Overdose », c’est différent, car il y a un public féminin important et c’est un projet post-féministe qui se partage plus facilement, car il n’ y a pas d’insultes. Pour mon prochain projet, je prends en compte toutes ces observations, maintenant que je sais que les web-séries se partagent moins quand il y a des gros mots.
