Jalan and Jibril Durimel are a pair of twins brothers practicing photography in Los Angeles. Born in Paris to parents from the island of Guadeloupe, at the age of 4 they moved to Miami where they first immersed themselves in American culture. It was in the island of St Maarten, however, where they first became interested in cinema as teenagers. This lead them back to the US to study film in Los Angeles. Their interest in photography and cinema is rooted in a passion to create fictitious images inspired by their encounters of the African diaspora and its potential to be expressed from an imaginative/fictitious point of view.
