Early life

Jasmine Dellal was an independent film director and producer whose feature documentaries showed in cinemas, festivals and TV around the world. Her last film was in 2008, before stopping to raise a family.

Dellal is the daughter of the Iraqi-Jewish property magnate Jack Dellal. She grew up in Great Britain, studied at Oxford, then in the United States and still spends much time in South India where her grandparents lived near Arunachala mountain in Tiruvannamalai. She read Modern Languages at Oxford University (French and Spanish, Balliol College).[1] Dellal met her mentor, the filmmaker Marlon Riggs[2] while doing a Masters at the University of California at Berkeley.

Career

In the 1990s, while based in San Francisco, Dellal founded Little Dust Productions, to make documentaries and artistic films with a social conscience. She has since moved to New York and London. She is particularly recognized for her work with Roma ("Gypsy" people).[3]
