Luxembourgish and Egyptian filmmaker.

Co-Founder/CEO: Independent Spirit Productions S.A. (Luxembourg).
He learns Filmmaking à Kingston University Promotion 2007 · MA Filmmaking). He speaks Egyptian Arabic, French, Deutsch, Luxembourgish and English. He is living in Luxembourg.

I was born in Alexandria, Egypt to Egyptian parents. Before settling down at the age of 6 to Luxembourg, I have lived in the UAE, UK and France.

After graduating with a MA in Filmmaking from Kingston University in the United Kingdom, my first feature film as a producer DIVIZIONZ had its world premiere at the 2008 Berlin Film Festival. The film went on to be selected at over 100 film festivals winning numerous prizes.

​In 2011, I have written & directed the short films LA FAMEUSE ROUTE... (The Notorious Road...) and MANO DE DIOS (God's Hand). Both films have also had a solid festival run.

Since 2004, I have produced, directed and/or edited a dozen short films, 3 feature films as well as hundreds of TV reports and music videos (link to my showreel).
​
I speak 5 languages (English, French, German, Arabic & Luxembourgish) fluently. That's why my film's themes always include issues of identity, integration, travelling, languages as well as immigration.

I'm also a 2006 Berlinale Talentcampus as well as an EAVE (European Audiovisual Entrepreneur) alumni and I have completed my first feature film LES GARS (The Notorious Guys) in 2013. The film features Orelsan in his first cinema role.

SAWAH (2019) is his second feature film.
​
At the moment, Adolf is in development of his third feature film HOOPED.
