Adil & Bilall

Belgian-Moroccan filmmakers Adil and Bilall first gained attention in 2015 with their film Black, which premiered at the Toronto IFF, where it won the Discovery section. Further film credits include Gangsta, which was selected in Palm Springs, where Adil & Bilall were shortlisted in "10 Directors to Watch".
