First-time director Bendjelloul won best documentary feature Academy Award last year for \&quot;Searching for Sugar Man\&quot;, which told the story of a musician who became famous without knowing it. Sixto Rodriguez made two albums in the early 1970s but then quit music -- but while he disappeared, his records became major hits notably in South Africa. Born to an Algerian father and a Swedish mother in 1977 in the small southern town of Ystad, the young filmmaker moved to Stockholm as his career became more successful.</p><br clear="all"/>
