The official trailer for Amir El-Masry’s new film In Camera has been released. This comes ahead of its release in theaters in in UK, Ireland and European countries from September 13. The suspense trailer features Amir El-Masry.
In October, the film took part in the BFI London Film Festival and competed for the Sutherland Award.
In Camera follows Aden, a young Actor who is in a cycle of nightmarish auditions. After he receives multiple rejections, Aden takes it upon himself to find a new part to play. Written and directed by Naqqash Khalid as his debut film as a director, In Camera stars Amir El-Masry, Nabhaan Rizwan, Rory Fleck Byrne, and Hussina Raja.
It is worth mentioning that Amir El-Masry received positive critical acclaim for his role in the British film In Camera, which had its premiere at the 57th Karlovy Vary International Film Festival within the Proxima competition.
In Variety Magazine, Film Critic Guy Lodge wrote: “At a script level, In Camera perhaps has an excess of enticing ideas, some given more breathing room than others. In particular, an oblique subplot involving Bo’s own absent search for personhood feels unrealized both on its own terms and as a complement to Aden’s serpentine story – which is more successfully activated when he and Bo take on a third roommate. Played by a superb Amir El-Masry, capturing just the right balance between jockish and preening, vacuous menswear stylist Conrad is as loudly self-regarding as Aden is quietly, intently watchful – with a life that the young actor begins to believe he could play rather well.”
Elena Lazic wrote in Cineuropa; “Amir El-Masry is fascinating as the most conventionally behaved person in the film, but also the most artificial, a smooth fashion designer who orders food so often that it seems more like a lifestyle choice – a way to signal something – than a merely practical one. He is everything Aden is not, especially in his relation to the other roommate.”
In The Film Verdict magazine, Ben Nicholson praised Amir El-Masry’s performance, stating, “Aden and Bo take on a new flatmate, Conrad (an excellent Amir El-Masry), a smooth-talker that works in fashion. His effortless charisma and apparent affluence are cast in stark relief to Aden’s quiet reserve.”
On the other hand, Amir El-Masry is shooting his scenes in Giant. In the film, El-Masry plays the role of the British Yemeni fighter Prince Naseem Hamed. Giant is the true story of Hamed’s humble beginnings on the tough working-class streets of Sheffield in the face of the rampant Islamophobia and racism of 80’s and 90’s Britain.
In addition to Amir El-Masry, Giant stars Pierce Brosnan, alongside a number of stars, and Sylvester Stallone as the Executive Producer.
El-Masry’s latest drama Maliha was released during the Ramadan season. Maliha stars Amir El-Masry, Diab, Ashraf Zaki, Mervat Amin, Sereen Khass, and Hanan Suliman. Written by Rasha Al-Gazzar and directed by Amr Arafa, Maliha tells the story of a Palestinian family who is forced to return to Gaza through Egypt, and they face many difficulties.
Most recently, the SXSW Film Festival announced the world premiere of Amir El-Masry’s new film See It Say It. The film is selected to compete at the festival’s 31st edition in Austin, Texas in the USA.
See It Say It tells the story of Mo, a hopeful Arab actor in his struggle-filled youth, residing in London. Unexpectedly, Mo’s agent Steven rings, offering a sudden audition that carries life-altering potential. During his journey to the audition, a misunderstanding arises and Mo’s world descends into a Kafkaesque nightmare of terror. Written and directed by Nez Khammal, the film stars Amir El-Masry, July Namir, and Madeleine Bowyer.
Currently, Amir El-Masry’s new series Vigil 2 is released on NBC, Peacok, and BBC. Most recently, Amir El-Masry announced his participation in the Irish series, Faithless. The events of the 6-episode comedy/drama Faithless tell the story of Zein (Amir El-Masry), an Egyptian-Irish young man who lives in Los Angeles. Circumstances push him to help his older brother in raising his daughters, but he faces crises in dealing with them. Faithless is written by Baz Ashmawy and directed by Declan Recks.
