在这部I Have a Picture片中,A walk through the nation’s cinematic history? Or through the characters’ memories? Or through the mind of the filmmaker? I Have a Picture seems to encompass all of the above. In this documentary, filmmaker Mohamed Zedan succeeds in fusing his personal obsessions with the rich lives of his two main characters: veteran extra Motawe Eweis and assistant director Kamal El Homossany. The film begins with a voiceover where the director recounts his own personal story with cinema as medium, and the beginning of his interest in Eweis, the prolific extra. With the help of his friend, El Homossany, Zedan finally manages to reach Eweis, and the journey of making the film begins. I Have a Picture… goes beyond the vast number of stories and gossip about the Egyptian film industry that flow from both Eweis and El Homossany, in themselves superbly entertaining, to explore the nature of life on the sidelines of show business, at the edge of the limelight. While it starts as a simple portrait of an actor viewed by many to be a marginal presence in the industry, the film cleverly transforms into a muffled conflict between El Homossany and Zedan. The old assistant director, re-entering the world of cinema with a bunch of filmmakers he views as amateurs, sees in them a chance to show off his vast if outdated knowledge of filmmaking, while the young, independent filmmaker views this conflict as rich material for his film, turning into a second storyline that runs in parallel to that of his protagonist’s life.
With the help of El Homossany; one of the oldest assistant directors in Egypt, Zedan; a young indie filmmaker, is making a documentary about Motawe Eweis, who has worked as an extra in about 1000 films in the Egyptian Cinema from the forties till now.
