Hadi El Bagoury

Film Director/ Cinematographer

“Every successful drama production should be an addition to the filmmaking industry, with a different storytelling style, new unusual visuals, and an unprecedented rhythm. Experimenting new techniques, we have to push the limits of the filmmaking industry to the extent that can be achieved in order to attract the audiences’ interest and passion.”

With his diverse experience in cinema, TV dramas, in addition to commercials and music video, Director Hadi El Bagoury’s experience was not only about making mere attempts in these fields, but it was about using his experience through alternative creative media.

Aside from his experience as a director, El Bagoury co-established his production house The Producers with Producer Hani Osama in 2000 with an aim to make first-class and strong film and TV productions entering innovative and varied areas, which is exactly what El Bagoury was looking for. Through The Producers, El Bagoury made his 16 mm series A‘ard Khas (2010) that is the first series of its kind in the Arab world.

Hadi made his way to the world of cinema through his film Wahed Sahih, which was screened in 2011. Not only was the film a significantly successful hit in theatres, but it was also the festival opener of the Dubai International Film Festival (DIFF) in 2011 as part of Muhr Arab Feature Competition, and Hadi won the Best Directorial Debut award from the Egyptian National Film Center. El Bagoury also directed the thriller film Warda (2014) with the contribution of The Producers, which was a box-office hit in Egypt and the Arab world. The film grabbed the media’s attention and audiences on social media for being inspired by true events.

El Bagoury’s latest film is Hepta: The Last Lecture (2016).
