The film "Casting Film Youssef Shaheen" is about the history and future of cinema. The film is dedicated to a group of directors like Youssef Shaheen, Shadi Abed El Salam, Tarkovsky, Fellini, Bergman, Pasolini, Kim di-duk, Kurosawa, and Theo Angelopoulous. All of those directors went through the same social, psychological, artistic, economic, and emotional crises that are present nowadays, and we are afraid that future directors will continue to suffer the same crisis. Through the film, we dive into the past and the future using an ascetic and simple low-budget cinematic style which is at the same time full of modern audiovisual content.
