In the history of cinema, Abdelmajid Lakhal is one of the names that keeps returning.
The record lists Abdelmajid Lakhal as Tunisian theatre director and actor (1939-2014).
Abdelmajid Lakhal was born at Bizerte in 1939. His recorded nationality is French protectorate of Tunisia.
This generation broke the studio mould - lighter cameras, location shooting, and directors who claimed authorship of the finished film.
The record gives his roles in the industry as actor, theatre director and stage actor.
Among his best-known works are The Messiah, Fatma 75 and Jesus of Nazareth. Cinema keeps its people visible long after the industry that produced them has changed shape.
That the work was made from French protectorate of Tunisia shaped it: national industries differ in what they finance, who they cast and which audiences they can reach.
Abdelmajid Lakhal died in 2014, aged 75. The films remain, which is the only form in which a screen career survives.
