侯赛因·谢里夫 Hussein Shariffe (1934年7月7日)

Sudanese filmmaker, painter and poet Hussein Shariffe (1934–2005) began his career as a painter, studying and working in London in the late 1950s and early 1960s. After a decade of lecturing and exhibiting in Sudan and internationally, he turned to filmmaking, working at Sudan’s State Cinema Corporation and later heading the Film Section of the Department of Culture. Forced into exile in Cairo in the late 1980s, Shariffe continued his film practice and co-directed Diary in Exile (1993) with Egyptian filmmaker Atteyat Al Abnoudy. Until his death in 2005, he worked on the poetic, unfinished film essay Of Dust and Rubies.
