Idrissi was born in Rabat in 1977. Her parents are of Berber ancestry. Idrissi dreamed of becoming a ballerina, enrolling in ballet lessons at the age of four. At age 16, she moved to Montreal to study business management, and discovered her passion for cinema after she went with a friend to a theater competition. In 2003, she made her film debut in El Bandia, which was popular among younger audiences. She starred as Habiba in the 2006 film La Symphonie marocaine, directed by Kamal Kamal. Idrissi played Jamila in Souad Hamidou's 2009 film Camille and Jamila. She portrayed Rihanna, a sick girl at a mental asylum, in Pégase in 2010, and received her first prize for her performance. In 2016, Idrissi played Myriam, one of the leading female roles, in Divines, directed by Houda Benyamina. The film won the Caméra d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival. Idrissi has also acted in theatrical productions and has been praised for her versatility as an actress.
Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
