Karim El Katari has brought his signature style to luxury brands L鈥橭r茅al, Maison Margiela, and Cartier, partnering with creative powerhouses TBWA Paris, Sid Lee, and Moment Factory

Harbor has made a power move, signing Karim El Katari, hailing from Paris, French colourist whose work is known for his avant-garde vision and ability to elevate storytelling through colour. Karim is the creative force behind an impressive portfolio of Cannes-nominated films, high-profile restorations, and campaigns for globally renowned brands.

Karim鈥檚 career boasts high-profile collaborations on projects that have garnered attention for excellence in craft artistry. His work on Asghar Farhadi鈥檚 The Past, a Palme d鈥橭r nominee at Cannes, and the Camerimage-recognised series Germinal solidified his standing as a master of crafting a cinematic visual language. International hits like To Catch a Killer (FilmNation), Message from the King (Netflix), and One Nation, One King (Studio Canal). Karim was also tapped to restore iconic films, working alongside luminaries like Wim Wenders on Paris, Texas and Jean-Jacques Annaud on The Bear, and working with Warner Brothers / Metropolitan for Tony Scott鈥檚 True Romance.

In the commercial realm, Karim has brought his signature style to luxury brands L鈥橭r茅al, Maison Margiela, and Cartier, partnering with creative powerhouses TBWA Paris, Sid Lee, and Moment Factory.

Karim began his career in Paris in 2010 at 脡clair Laboratories, where he benefited from the historic and competitive environment of one of France鈥檚 most renowned post-production houses where he honed his craft to master the intricate art of colour timing and the photochemical process. This foundation has allowed him to uniquely blend analog expertise with cutting-edge digital approaches, giving his work a distinct and timeless quality. 

Karim expressed his excitement about joining the team, 鈥淚 am honoured to be part of such an impressive group of creatives at Harbor. I chose Harbor for two key reasons: its unwavering commitment to excellence for both clients and artists, and its strong culture of collaboration among colourists and cross-discipline artists. The energy and vision at Harbor are truly inspiring, and I鈥檓 eager for the work ahead.鈥

鈥淜arim is a rare talent,鈥 said senior colourist Damien Vandercruyssen, 鈥淗is ability to seamlessly blend traditional techniques with bold, innovative ideas makes him stand out in the industry. Filmmakers are drawn to his artistry, and we鈥檙e thrilled to welcome him to the Harbor family.鈥

鈥淪igning Karim El Katari deepens the artistic bench at Harbor,鈥 said Massimo D鈥橝volio, EVP of post production at Harbor. 鈥淎s the demand for avant-garde visuals continues to grow, Karim鈥檚 unique approach and expertise put us in an unparalleled position to deliver for our clients.鈥
