Tarik Saleh is remembered on screen for work that changed what came after it.
The record lists Tarik Saleh as Swedish director of Egyptian origin.
Tarik Saleh was born at Stockholm in 1972. His recorded nationality is Sweden.
By this period cinema was global and fragmented: independent finance, festival circuits and television drama competing for the same talent.
He worked as film director, director and screenwriter.
His name is attached above all to Cairo-trilogy starring Fares Fares. A film outlives its reviews, its budget and usually its studio; what remains is whether anyone still watches it.
That the work was made from Sweden shaped it: national industries differ in what they finance, who they cast and which audiences they can reach.
Tarik Saleh is still working, and the shape of the career is not yet settled.
