‘The pyramids – Story of creation’ is my first video-art film. I had in this short film the opportunity to capture glimpses, albeit experimental, of two of my most obsessive passions, cinema and ancient Egypt. The film has been screened in a couple of international film festivals in Europe and Egypt.
Through the film technique, I try to express my ideas without distracting the viewer eyes/ears with unnecessary effects and narration. Every time I’m tackling the remote history of ancient Egypt in my films and even books, I find myself confronted with the challenge of how to shift my time-machine’s gear and travel (with the viewers) thousands of years back in time. That’s why the rather slow pace of my camera is both deliberate and of major significance to me. The aim obviously is to put the viewer in a contemplative mood, which could help him view/review Egypt anew (untainted by the long legacy of Hollywood’s fake stories of mummies, pharaohs and the tremendously misinterpreted story of the Israelite Exodus)
