Provocative director perseveres
The Associated Press
CAIRO, Egypt — Some see Inas el-Degheidi as a feminist fighting through her films for the rights of Egyptian women. Others argue that Egypt's most famous female director gets attention the easy way — by filming cheap sex scenes. Islamic militants simply think el-Degheidi should be dead, police say.
As one of the first, and the few, women to have invaded what is a male-dominated career, el-Degheidi is used to controversy.
"I was the first to tackle subjects that were banned in the cinema, so they shock people. Maybe in the future people will say, 'This woman was courageous,'" el-Degheidi said.
Of militants, she said, "they say I've crossed the red lines in art, and I say art knows no red lines."
Late last year, police said a
group of Islamic militants plotted to kill el-Degheildi. The group's other targets, according to police and prosecutors, included President Hosni Mubarak and Mohammed Sayed Tantawi, the government-appointed head of Al-Azhar mosque and university, one of Islam's oldest and most prominent institutions.
"I did not take it seriously at first, and to be honest I felt happy for a moment on hearing the news, because they put my name among those of very important people and saw me as someone who can change history." el-Deeghedi said.
Police offered to assign her guards, but she refused.
El-Degheidi argues that her movies advocate "defending women's rights, women's feelings and dignity.
"Our traditions, customs and maybe our religion — though it
gave women a lot — didn't make women equals of men in many aspects ... I am not convinced of this, I can't be a follower," she said.
Her movies have covered such subjects as prostitution and selling girls into marriage. One movie, Disco, Disco, tackled the educational system, drugs, homosexuality and extremism among youth.
Since her debut as a director in 1984, she has directed 13 movies and won a number of prizes at home and abroad. She caught the attention of critics and viewers alike with her earlier movies, widely seen as both daring and important.
Many argue, however, that in her later work el-Degheidi has compromised art for commercialism, relying on scenes of scantily dressed, sultry women and sexually loaded conversations in movies that had poor, or no, story lines.
