Yasmine Meddour

In 2020, Yasmine Meddour participated to the Master Class in music composition for image, led by Renaud Barbier, and took part in the European Market for film composition. Last year, the composer Maxence Dussère won the Cinezik prize for his three short films in competition. Together, Yasmine and Maxence come back to Marseille to present Houria, the second feature film of director Mounia Meddour, for which they co-signed the original music.

Born in Russia and spending her early childhood in Algeria, Yasmine Meddour moved to Paris when she was eight. She studied piano, singing and film music composition at the conservatory. Passionate about the relation between music and moving Images, Yasmine decides to work as a film composer. She composed a song for the movie Papicha directed by Mounia Meddour, in competition at the Festival de Cannes and which won two awards at the Cesar ceremony in 2020. The same year, she participated as a composer at the International Music & Cinema Festival Masterclass. In 2022, Yasmine Meddour composed the original score with Maxence Dussère of the feature film Houria, directed by Mounia Meddour and wrote with the composer Simon Fransquet the original song of the French-Moroccan film Un été à Boujad by Omar Mouldouira. Yasmine is currently working on her first EP project, exploring sounds and memories from her childhood in Kabylie, Algeria. Her music blends the depth of analog synthesizers with her luminous voice that sings of exile, absence and hope.
