EGYPTIAN FILM DIRECTORNADER GALAL CHECKS A SHOT DURING MAKING OF TV SERIES IN CAIRO, 2002-11-16 (photo)

One of Egypt's top film directors, Nader Galal, checks composition during the making of a television series November 16, 2002. Galal directed landmark film "The Terrorist," released at the height of an Islamic militant revolt against the government in 1992, in which a disguised extremist on the run is taken in by the kind of middle class Westernised family his doctrine teaches him to despise. Egypt boasts the Arab world's leading movie and television industry. The country embraced the industry in its early days, showing films in cafes as early as 1896. REUTERS/Aladin Abdel Naby AN/AA
