Asma el bakry
Asma El Bakry (28 October 1947 – 5 January 2015) was an Egyptian film director, author and illustrator.[1][2][3]
El Bakry worked in the film industry for many years, including as an assistant to noted Egyptian director Youssef Chahine.[4][5]
She also worked as an author and illustrator.[5]
El Bakry made a number of documentary and short films, before making her first feature as a director in 1991, Beggars and Nobles, which she also co-produced.
While filming Mathaf al Iskandariya, a documentary about the Greco-Roman Museum in Alexandria, El Bakry filmed the recovery of what were thought to be remains of the Pharos of Alexandria. After finding that works to stabilise the adjacent Citadel of Qaitbay were destroying ancient artefacts, she went public with her concerns, forcing the Egyptian authorities to stop their work.[6][7][8]
