Where Did Ramses Go? with Amro Bayoumi
<p>With the opening of the Grand Egyptian Museum, Ramses II has returned to the spotlight — not just as a historical icon, but as a question about memory, place, and movement. In this episode of <strong>Rawy Talks</strong>, we sit down with filmmaker <strong>Amr Bayoumi</strong> to discuss Where Did Ramses Go?, a film that connects the journey of a statue with a deeply personal journey of the director himself.</p><p>We talk about his use of animation and still photography as a visual language, how history can be told through a contemporary human lens, and the difference between independent filmmaking and working with major networks like Al Jazeera. This is a conversation about documentary cinema as a space for questions, not easy answers.</p><p><br>مع افتتاح المتحف المصري الكبير، عاد اسم رمسيس الثاني للواجهة — ليس فقط كرمز تاريخي، بل كسؤال عن الذاكرة، المكان، ومعنى الانتقال. في هذه الحلقة من <strong>راوي توكس</strong>، نستضيف المخرج <strong>عمرو بيومي</strong> في حوار عميق حول فيلمه «رمسيس راح فين؟»، العمل الذي يربط بين رحلة تمثال رمسيس وبين رحلة شخصية داخل حياة المخرج نفسه.</p><p>نتحدث عن استخدام الأنيميشن والصورة الثابتة كلغة بصرية، وعن كيفية سرد التاريخ من زاوية إنسانية ومعاصرة. كما نناقش الفرق بين العمل المستقل والتعاون مع مؤسسات إعلامية كبرى مثل الجزيرة، ودور السينما الوثائقية في طرح الأسئلة بدل تقديم إجابات جاهزة.</p><p>🎬 الأفلام المذكورة في الحلقة: – رمسيس راح فين؟ – الكلام في الجنس – مدن الموتى (متاح على قناة الجزيرة الوثائقية على يوتيوب)</p>
