Egypt’s film industry has been around since the late 1800’s, producing films not just for an Egyptian audience but for countries throughout the Arab world.

Film contributor Milos Stehlik and Ahmed Rehab, Executive Director of CAIR-Chicago, tell us about some of Egypt’s most well-known directors and take us through the history of Egypt’s film industry.
