The images shot on Egyptian film sets by prominent photographer Fouad ElKoury over more than a decade capture the essence of Arab cinema. 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. From cinemas and theatres to studios, both on set and off, prominent photographer Fouad ElKoury sought to capture the essence of Egyptian cinema. Whether observing filming, exploring behind the scenes, or interacting with filmmakers, actors, actresses, and technicians, his goal was to encapsulate the entire spectrum of this cinematic world. From 1985 to 1996, 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. The book is bilingual, in Arabic and English, with an introductory text by Fouad ElKoury.
