Ahmed Nabil
Movie director
He was born in Alexandria, Egypt, in 1984. With an interest in filmmaking and drawing, he joined the faculty of fine arts and got his BFA in painting in 2006. He studied filmmaking in a two years workshop between 2005 and 2007 in the Jesuits Cultural Center, which was the main starting point for his professional filmmaking career.
Having some early trials with experimental filmmaking, he decided to use this
background and put it in use with a documentary project. “The Trip” short film was
sort of a landmark that helped him articulate his initial preferable filmic language.
