| | Mohamed Bayoumi (1894-1963) |
 | | He was also caught up in the political struggles of the time, joining the National Party, a patriotic organization, at the age of 17. |
 | | Influenced by the writings of Mustafa Kamil, the Egyptian nationalist leader and Islamicist, Bayoumi, like other Egyptian patriots of the period, was strongly opposed to the British colonial occupation of his country. |
 | | Although he was from a privileged background, Bayoumi, in developing a national consciousness, was sympathetic to the struggles of ordinary Egyptians, a concern he would later demonstrate in his films. |
