Celebrated Egyptian film director Mohamed Khan died in Cairo yesterday aged 73 after a prolific career making socially engaged films.
His daughter, Nadine Khan, is also a film director and her feature debut Chaos, Disorder won the Special Jury Prize at the Dubai International Film Festival in 2012.
Khan died in a Cairo hospital early Tuesday following health problems, according to the state-owned al-Ahram newspaper.
Despite being widely celebrated as a great figure in Egyptian and Arab cinema, Egypt only granted Khan nationality in 2014.
