A scientist by training, Mohamed Osman Kilani is a graduate in endocrinology from the Faculty of Medicine of Tunis. An artist at heart, his longest career has been in the theater since he was 16: baptized on the boards of El Teatro in Tunis, under the direction of Taoufik Jebali, he explores different disciplines, from contemporary dance to commedia dell'arte, via experimental theater and action theatre. Moreover, his passion for the visual arts leads him to photography, where he tries to question contemporary iconography and aesthetic standards. With “Palimpsest”, a personal and intimate documentary about transgenerational transmission, he signs his first short documentary essay and affirms his unique visual universe.
