Ahmed Diop was born in Senegal. His professional life is not that of a “normal” director, as he has been an engineer and a pilot. La Pirogue de ma mémoire (The Voyage of Memory - 1993) was his first film as a director. He won the TV5 Best Documentary Award at the Namur International Festival of French-Speaking Film and the Youth Jury Award at the Clermont-Ferrand International Short Film Festival in 1996 for the film Abraham et les Petits Métiers (1996).
