A course by Iliès Terki
Iliès Terki is an Algerian-born film director based in Hamburg, and the founder of his own creative studio, which specializes in short-form fiction. He started his career as a cover designer in the music industry before going on to study communications and visual arts in Madrid and Paris. He later studied art direction in Hamburg and New York, and went on to work in an advertising agency, where he was introduced to high-end filmmaking and realized it was what he wanted to pursue. Iliès began experimenting with filmmaking in his spare time and, in 2015, quit his job to launch his career in the art form.
Since then, Iliès has established his own studio, Idle Films, which has produced a series of 52 fiction stories and small vignettes. He has also worked with brands including adidas, BMW, Renault, Netflix Germany, UNICEF, Penguin Random House, and Haribo.
