For some the answer is immigration and for others the answer is right around them. </span></div><div align="left"><span style="font-size:130%;"></span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">Sebae dreams of being a famous singer, but feelings of family obligation keep him in his father’s business. Myriam wants to be free to marry whomever she loves, even if he has different religious beliefs, but she is faced with opposing family values and societal norms. Hams is on a quest to find the place where she doesn’t feel like an outsider. She journeys around the globe and settles in Cairo in hopes of finally finding a place to belong. Moataz wants the simple things in life, but financially struggles to make his dream, of marrying his fiancé and starting a home together, come true.<br /><br />In an attempt to find their true meaning of <em>“home”,</em> filmmaker Tamer Ezzat, captures their stories in moments of confrontation, reflection and everyday activities with their friends and families. These stories are not only touching, humorous and dramatic, but they are real as well.<br /><br /></div></span><p align="center"><em><strong><span style="font-size:130%;">Press Quotes</span></strong></em></p><p><span style="font-size:130%;"><strong><em>“The Place I Call Home ... a new wave is emerging in the contemporary Egyptian cinema.”</em></strong>Al Arabi Newspaper (translated from Arabic) </span></p><p><span style="font-size:130%;"><strong><em>“After a year of research, interviews, </em></strong><strong><em>film</em></strong><strong><em>ing and editing associated with a necessary search for funds, Ezzat, the </em></strong><strong><em>film</em></strong><strong><em>'s director, was standing in the corner of a packed hall in El Sakia as people flocked to watch his </em></strong><strong><em>documentary</em></strong><strong><em> The Place I Call Home.”</em></strong> The Daily Star Egypt (Sister of The International Herald Tribune)</span></p><p><span style="font-size:130%;"></span></p><p><span style="font-size:130%;"></span></p><p><span style="font-size:130%;"></span></p><p align="center"><strong><em><span style="font-size:130%;">Film Festivals & Awards</span></em></strong></p><ul><li><em><span style="font-size:130%;">Al Jezeera Documentary Film Festival 2006 (winner of the golden award)</span></em></li><li><em><span style="font-size:130%;">National Egyptian Film Festival 2006 (winner of best feature documentary)</span></em></li><li><span style="font-size:130%;">Arab Film Festival Rotterdam 2006 (winner of the silver hawk award)</span></li><li><span style="font-size:130%;">10th Ismalia International Documentary and Short Film Festival 2006 (winner of the documentary filmmakers association award)</span></li><li><em><span style="font-size:130%;">Dubai International Film Festival 2006</span></em></li><li><em><span style="font-size:130%;">Leipzig International Film Festival 2006</span></em></li><li><em><span style="font-size:130%;">Beirut DC 2006</span></em></li><li><span style="font-size:130%;">Caravan of the Euro Arab Cinema 2006</span></li><li><span style="font-size:130%;">Edinburgh International Film Festival/New Cinemas of the Arab World 2007</span></li><li><span style="font-size:130%;">Sydney Arab Film Festival 2007</span></li></ul><p><span style="font-size:130%;"></span></p><p><span style="font-size:130%;"></span></p><p><strong><em><span style="font-size:130%;"></span></em></strong></p><p align="center"><strong><em><span style="font-size:130%;">Film Credits</span></em></strong></p><ul><li><span style="font-size:130%;"><strong>Production:</strong> Myth Productions – UNESCO</span></li><li><span style="font-size:130%;"><strong>Producers:</strong> Tamer Ezzat - Michel F.

<strong><span style="font-size: large;">What topics would you like to see in </span></strong><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><strong>future Egyptian </strong><strong>documentaries?</strong></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><strong><br />
</strong></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Many people often only know about Egypt through documentaries about "Ancient Egypt," but there is so much more to Egyptian society then what is portrayed in these documentaries. There is a modern society that is lacking in exposure. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Through the eyes of a documentary filmmaker, what would you like the world to see about Egyptian society?</span><br />
