At the age of 18, he decided to study filmmaking in France, where he obtained a Master's degree in “Cinéma de fiction” at the Université Paris-Est Marne-la-Vallée. He then pursued a complementary master's degree in “Documentary and Anthropological Cinema” at the Université Paris X Nanterre, in the section created by Jean Rouch. This training enabled him to familiarize himself with cinéma du réel, develop a keen sense of observation and appreciate instant shooting, while his experience of fiction encouraged him to create impactful and aesthetic images.In 2013, Hadi Moussally began exploring the world of film and photography with h7o7, a duo with Olivier Pagny, focused on experimenting with still and moving images. In 2014, he made his first documentary, “Ma vieille grand-mère”, about the end of his grandmother's life, and in 2016, he directed a docu-portrait about a senior model entitled “Bowl of Cherries”. The same year, he formalized the creation of the production company h7o7, which aims to produce and promote films and photos with a “hybrid” vocation, favoring the mixing of genres.At the same time, Hadi Moussally takes an interest in the world of fashion, creating films that are recognized in the fashion world and gaining recognition thanks to his multiple selections in festivals. In 2019, he begins collaborating with choreographers on dance films, expanding his artistic repertoire. In 2020, his films become hybrids, mixing fiction, documentary, fashion, dance and experimental elements. Notable works from this period include “Bellydance Vogue”, selected for over 90 festivals worldwide, “Space Woman”, acquired by French TV channel Canal+, and “La Casquette”, winner of the France TV competition.Hadi Moussally's films have won awards all over the world, with over 50 prizes and 400 selections in international festivals.
