 I decided that my future career is going to be in film directing...i already joined that film school and study film directing...and next year insha2llah..i'm going to join ma3had el cinema (directing section)....and all that because he is really my role model...he is really the best...and i want to reach half of what he reached
when i watched that movie alexandria newyork...i couldn't believe really how great the film is as a whole!
the actors and actresses , directing ofcourse, the music , the decorations..everything really....that film made me feel like i'm heaven...i even went to watch that film in cinema 6 times!!!....even my friends thinks i'm crazy....i also have the movie now on a CD...after i watched that movie and realized how great that man is...i began to watch his movies and really understood these movies and understood his point of view in doing these movies...he really is a genius.
i want to tell hikm..that he is a great person and a great director....i'm sure ofcourse that i'm not the only person to say that..but really you're amazing...i also want to tell him that i'm going to be a film director too..and i just wish to reach just half or even a quarter of what he have reached...he is my role model...i really love him and appreciate him..

وانا صغيره كنت حوالى 7 سنين كنت بتفرج على فيلم باب الحديد وكنت خايفه جدا
قناوى ده حيدبح هنومه روحت استخبيت فى حضن بابا قالى متخافيش التى عارفه ده مين
؟ ده مخرج الفيلم يا عبيطه  واسمه يوسف شاهين يومها حسيت انه حاجه مهمه وانى
فعلا مش خايفه من قناوى ومن يومها انا بتفرج على الافلام وانا مش عارفه مين
اللى بيخرج الافلام دى لكن لما كبرت شويه بقت اعرف ولقيت ان كل الافلام اللى
بحبها اخراج شاهين ومن يومها وهو صحبى خصوصا لما بدأت اكبر اكتر وبدات افهم
اكتر لقيت حاجه مش موجوده فى اى فيلم تانى الحاجه دى هى ان الابطال لما بتكلمو
بلاقى الكلام خارج من قلبى انا صحيح على لسان البطل او البطله لكن من قلبى انا.
مشاعر عمرى ماتصورت انها جوه قلبى كانه بنفض التراب عن قلبى و بيقول بصى جوها
ايه؟كل ده مع شاهين بس يبقى من حقه انى احبه

  لما بتشوف انسان لاول مره بتخاف احسن ميطلعش زى ما انت متخيل انا شوفتك مره فى
ندوه فى الكليه وقبلها دعيت ربنا انك تطلع زى ما انا رسماك فى خيالى والحمدد
لله انك طلعت احسن كمان شكرا لانك مخيبتش ظنى فيك وانا هدعى ربنا انى اشوفك
تانى وانا عارفه ان ربنا هيقبل زى ما قبل اول مره

 I believe that watching a movie isn’t just an entertainment as listening to jokes, but you should learn out of it, you should use your mind. And that is what Youssef Chahine provides in addition to the special mode of his movies which encourages imagination while letting you feel like flying.
»Message to Youssef Chahine: as you said before that “losing Mohsen mohey el din is a disaster for the Egyptian cinema” and we hope you provide for us a great talent like him, as well as a great young director like you.


. AMINA BOURAOUI | Tunisia | El Massir

 I became a Youssef Chahine fan, naturally, since I was young, very young when I saw Bab el Hadid for the first time, and saw his exceptional presentation as an actor, and heard about the story the American refusing him a prize, cause they didn't believe "he was really acting in that movie". And maybe because I understood later that he is one of the few directors with a message, and something to say, and working hard and seriously for that. I also love his choices of actors and actresses, and the way he directs them.
»Message to Youssef Chahine:
One of my dreams is to meet the great Youssef Chahine and maybe he will offer to me a role in one of his coming movies.
And I will conclude sending to him all my respect and admiration.
Thank you Mr. Youssef Chahine, with a lot of love.

عشر عام ضاعت
من عمري في البحث عن سيادتك اريد مقابله شخصيه مع سياتك
انا انسان بسيط
واعشق فن سيادتك
منذ الصغر
واحترم سيادتك من كل قلبي ورحي ووجداني
ومؤمن بكل افكار سيادتك حتي اذا كان الناس تقولي بأنك تحارب الاسلام
مع كل ذلك انا مؤمن بكل افكار سيادتك
واحب الكتابه من خلالك
واريد ان اعرض علي سيادتك ما تعلمته من سيادتك لكي اتعلم هذا الفكر
العظيم
  وصدقني انا لا اريد المال ولا اريد الشهره ولا الاضواء
ولكن صدقني انا اريد ان اتعلم من فكر سيادتك فقط
هذا كل ما اريده من سيادتك
اريد ان اعرف الرد من سيادتك في قبول المقابله
توافق تقابلني وانا انسان بسيط
ام لا بصدق نابع من قلبك
وصدقني لن يقل احترام سيادتك في قلبي اذا وافقت او رفضت المقابله معي
وصدقني انا مسلم في البطاقه فقط اما في الحقيقه لا
رساله من انسان بسيط
يحب مصر
ويعشق فكر واخراج الاستاذ يوسف شاهين


. MALAK BABA | Lebanon | El Akhar

 I have always dreamt of the day I would stand behind the camera and say "skoot hansawar"...A dream too far that never visioned light...In watching Joes' movies I realized how much of the world of creativity and dream am missing. I knew that all the years that have passed by me have been dull, meaningless, colorless...I have always adored Joe, both he artist and the person. I loved his frankness and openness that often he was accused of. I loved his creativity and mastery of giving birth to his brave and bold ideas...I've always dreamed of meeting him, maybe some of my thirst to his art will be satisfied. Until it was time to my trip to Cairo. I saw him there sitting in Beirut's Airport, his eyes shining with new ideas. I could never imagine that my dream was turning into a reality. That I was seeing him flesh and blood. Can't forget when he looked at me and with all due respect told me "bonjour"...It was a dream come true...Along him with khalid yousif , the student! I looked at him and envied him " why couldn't I be in his place near the master..."Khalid Youssif initiated a talk with me but suddenly I had to apart from my dream for some dumb reasons... then were grave!
»Message to Youssef Chahine: Please Joe there is a Lebanese girl dreaming of meeting you again, this time for long. I am sure that your generous enough to respond to my urgent call and contact me back. Love you, adore you
