Egyptian filmmaker, writer, and visual artist Nouran Sherif (1990–2022) was renowned for combining experimental video art with narrative cinema. Launching her career in 2010, her multimedia installations and video art earned international exposure in galleries across Egypt, Finland, the UK, and the US. She later moved into narrative direction, making a critically praised short film debut with Extra Safe (2019). Before her unexpected death in January 2022, Sherif directed the short I Love You, I Hate You (2020), worked on the project Code O, and completed her debut feature script, Aida.
