Director Biography - Haroun Al-Shaater

English-Egyptian filmmaker Haroun Al-Shaater has been collaborating with his brother, Yaz, since they were old enough to hold a camera. From award-winning web series 'Missing Something' to policy-changing films about the UK's housing crisis, the duo have crafted their art of story-telling. 'Alex' marks Haroun's first venture as sole writer and director as he explores Berlin, his new home city, through film.
