Nelson Foix
Nelson Foix grew up between Bondy and Guadeloupe. His cinema, nourished by this double heritage, crosses a universe that is both asphalt and luminous. Urban culture and the colors of his island manifest in a direct and fiery aesthetic sense. The artistic training of this great sportsman, musician and rapper, and his relationship with the body forged by athletics and boxing, are catalyzed by cinema as a total, strong and embodied means of expression. Zion, taking place in Guadeloupe, is his first feature film.
