02 — ABOUT

I make films about the hour when Cairo goes quiet — the almost-dark, the streetlight flicker, the things people only say at 3AM.

Trained in film production. Fluent in available light, stubborn about honest frames.

Yousef Fouda is a film director and cinematographer based in Cairo, Egypt. His work moves between narrative shorts, documentary, and music video — always chasing texture, dust, and the truth a face gives away when it thinks the camera has stopped. Currently developing his first feature.
