Jamshed Usmonov was born in Asht, Tajikistan. After graduating from the Arts Institute, he started producing, writing and directing documentaries as well as animation and fiction movies. In 1991, he started shooting "The Well", a medium-length film that he managed to complete only in 2000, after the end of the civil war. Usmanov's first feature dates from 1998: The Flight of the Bee (1998) (The Flight of the Bee), but the director gained international recognition only four years later with Fararishtay kifti rost (2002) (Angel on the Right), a colorful fable set in his native Asht, and with To Get to Heaven, First You Have to Die (2006) (To Get to Heaven First You Have to Die), the dark portrait of a young married man with sexual problems. His last film to date, My Wife's Romance (2011), is a film noir about a man who goes missing and the consequences it involves. Also in France, he appeared as an actor embodying a foreign art film director produced by the hero of Mia Hansen-Løve's sensitive Father of My Children (2009) Grégoire Canvel.)
