After having studied law and working as a stage manager, Marcel Nakache comes to pictures in 1979.

He becomes the assistant of a lot of several directors and photographers and is then a film director in 1985 while taking photographs.

Since that time, he has been loving telling stories mixing the genres such as cinema, photography, report, documentary, graphic arts.
Journeys improve his imagination.

Marcel Nakache plays with some pictures from his movies, and with his photos to turn them almost into tableau.

In 2004, he offered us a 52 minutes documentary about Moroccan artists, “MAALLEM”.
With Isabelle Marliac he exhibits at ‘La Maison de l’Artisan’ about fifty pictures – medium format – that are all marked with an oriental poetry dear to his heart.

Today, on the occasion of a report shot in India, in Rajasthan, he makes us discover his “ Rêves Indiens” (‘Indian Dreams’), a mixture of phantasmagorical impressions.

Photos in a real-life situation, fixed pictures, fiddled pictures as the artists call them, to end up at pictures that sometimes are grand format and which pass on his dream-like vision of that faraway land.

This journey to India in 2005 really impressed him. Since then he has been preparing a full-length film on an original idea of Ragunath Manet, called “Fils de Shiva” (‘Son of Shiva’), adapted from the book of the famous Indian dancer “Les Bayadères –Danseuses sacrées du temple de Villemour” (The Bayadères – Sacred dancers of the Villemour temple’).

This is an affair worth following…
