Katia Kameli was born in 1973 in Clermont-Ferrand, France, and grew up dividing her time between her mother's family in France and her father's family in Algeria. She trained as an artist under the guidance of Italian painter Michelangelo Pistoletto,[1] and completed her first filmmaking project as a student in 1998.[2] In 2000 she graduated from the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Bourges, going on to complete postgraduate studies in the subject of New Media at the Ecole Supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Marseille.[3]
