Marwan Hamed né au Caire en 1977 est un réalisateur de cinéma égyptien.

Biography

Il est le fils de l'auteur Wahid Hamed et du journaliste Zeinab Sweidan. Il fait ses études au High Cinema Institute dont il sort diplômé en 1999. Puis il débute dans le cinéma comme assistant réalisateur dans les films de Samir Seif et Sherif Arafa avant de réaliser des premiers courts métrages dont Li Li qui sera présenté dans de nombreux festivals de cinéma dans le monde et sur les chaînes de télévision du monde arabe.

En 2006, il réalise son premier long métrage majeur intitulé The Yacoubian Building dans lequel il adapte un roman de l'Egyptien Alaa Al Aswany paru en 2002, avec l'acteur Adel Emam. C'est alors le film le plus cher jamais produit dans l'histoire du cinéma égyptien.

Ensuite il réalise le film d'action "Ibrahim El Abyad", et une autre adaptation de best-seller "El Feel El Azraq" (L'éléphant bleu), qui est son film le plus réussi sur le plan critique et financier.

Il a participé à la réalisation de la série Lahzat Harija et a filmé un clip vidéo pour Amr Diab.

Le film The Yacoubian Buildinga été suivi, en 2009, par le film "Ibrahim Labyad" avec Ahmed El Sakka et Hend Sabry.




Il a ensuite réalisé "Blue Elephant" mettant en vedette Karim Abdel Aziz et Khaled Al Sawy, basé sur le roman d'Ahmed Mourad, avant de réaliser "The Originals" avec Khaled el Sawy, Maged el Kedwany et Menna Shalby.

Il participe au film 18 jours présenté au Festival de Cannes 2011.

"I read the novel in one day, and I thought it was amazing we do not do thrillers and fantasy films in Egypt and I love these genres so I thought this could be the one. I felt very sorry for the characters, especially Yehia Rahed, the main character. I always thought that the “The Blue Elephant” is about performance. I love working with actors and all the characters and their back-stories were really quite interesting. One of the things that grabbed me most was the other world in the film and the journeys that Yehia took."

The film opens with a montage tracing the building's history, as wealthy expatriate and Egyptian residents give way, after the 1952 coup that overthrew King Farouk and eventually resulted in the installation of Gamal Abdel Nasser as President of Egypt, to new families, and as the rooftop storage rooms are converted into living space for lower-class families. The rooftop community, effectively a slum neighborhood, is symbolic of the urbanization of Egypt and of the burgeoning population growth in its large cities in recent decades, especially among the poor and working classes. In the faded apartments of the main floors and on the building's teeming roof, the films's principal characters are introduced:
