Raymond Rajaonarivelo was born in Antananarivo in 1949. He studied filmmaking at the University of Montpellier and at the University of Paris. Though living on the outskirts of Paris, he returns to Madagascar for filming. In the 1970s Rajaonarivelo made two Malagasy short films. His debut feature film, TABATABA (1988), told the story of a village in the 1947 Malagasy Uprising. It was the first Malagasy film to be shown at the Cannes Film Festival, where it won the 1988 Audience Award.
