About Salim El Turk

Salim El Turk is a veteran film director who spent more than 25 years directing music videos for some of the biggest names in Arabic music before turning to AI filmmaking.

His Higgsfield bio lists music videos for top Arabic artists including Haifa Wehbe, Elissa and Nawal El Zoghbi, and credits him with directing the first Arabic 3D film, My Last Valentine in Beirut. On his second Higgsfield account he sums up the turn his career has taken: “30 years in film making and now, ai came to change my life.”

On Kineograph he appears with two very different shorts. In $100 Million Rat, a rat swallows a diamond — and for a rat, there is no predator worse. Not a Monster Movie (a one take film) follows a monster who quits horror movies to act in a romantic opera, captured in a single continuous take. His other Higgsfield projects include Escaping into the Loop and 3 Minutes With My Dead Dad.
