Directors | Moneer Barakat

Moneer Barakat is an Egyptian Italian passionate filmmaker who believes that film should always provoke something strong; be it an action, an emotion, or a thought.

Moneer started in Advertising where he fell in love with the brands’ world, so he worked my way up to become a regional creative director then fell madly in love with Film Directing where I’ve moved to direct high-end TV campaigns for several top brands plus working on short films and mini-documentaries before I started to apply my directorial talent and passion to create and direct Digital & TV content.

His corporate film “40 Years” has won the Grand Prix in Cannes Dolphin Awards, while his short film “The Man Who Gave” was voted as one of the best films ever done for the banking sector.

On top of that, Moneer launched the region’s first “brand entertainment” channels for Pepsi, Burger King & BMW where he developed and directed all the content.

Now, Moneer is in the development phase for a couple of innovative film projects that are destined for streaming services.
