Artists in residence

Each year, the Cité internationale des arts welcomes more than 1,000 artists from around the world, offering them a space for creation, research, and exchange in Paris, in the Marais and Montmartre districts. Open to all artistic disciplines—visual arts, music, literature, film, design and architecture, performing arts, and curating—it enables artists to develop their projects in an environment that fosters experimentation and meaningful connections.

Music

Omar Aloulou is a Tunisian composer of film and electronic music. 

In 2015, he began composing primarily for the cinema, signing his first film scores, including the soundtrack to Mohamed Ben Attia’s Hedi, un vent de liberté, which won an award at the 2016 Berlinale, as well as Weldi / Mon Cher Enfant, which will be presented at the Cannes Film Festival in the Directors’ Fortnight in 2018. The film Benzine, for which he wrote the score, was in official competition for Best Original Score at the Aubagne International Film Festival in 2018. In 2021, he composed the music for the film Black Medusa, which was selected in official competition at the Rotterdam International Film Festival.

In 2018, he composed and produced a ciné-concert based on Friedrich Murnau’s Faust, a German legend. In it, he tries to approach electronic music by drawing inspiration from classical writing, using themes and leitmotivs and trying to imagine an orchestra made up of synthesizers. 

In 2020, he released an electronic concept album entitled Olenin, a free adaptation of Leo Tolstoy’s novel The Cossacks. The creative driving force behind this album is the attempt to create narrative and descriptive music, in the manner of symphonic poems.
