Holy Eye

A man in a plaid shirt films another man seated across a table. The second man leans forward thoughtfully, creating an intimate, interview like indoor scene.

In a film blurring reality and fiction, director Ibrahim, playing himself, helps Hassan, a blind critic who lost his sight at sixty two, make his first film. Guided by sound, memory, and Ibrahim’s words, Cairo is reimagined as their shared cinematic canvas.
