About the Book

Cairo is to Arabic cinema what Hollywood is to American cinema. In the minds of most Arabs, Egyptian cinema is a reference point, many of its actors and actresses are divas with a global following and some film scenes are immortal.

During the course of 10 years, from 1985 to 1996, prominent photographer Fouad ElKoury entered this cinema industry, taking photographs of over 17 film sets (such as "The Destiny" by Youssef Chahine), major actors (Omar Sharif, Mahmoud Abdel Aziz, Ahmed Zaki, ...) actresses (Faten Hamama, Taheyya Kariokka, Yousra, Soad Hosni, Sherihan, ...) , film makers (Youssef Chahine, Hussein Kamal, Mohamed Khan, ...), studios.

Selected from the artists' archive, most of the photographs in this book have never been published before, while others have reached worldwide fame, such as Sherihan's photograph in a theater.
