You should edit your form tag like the following as multipart/form-data encoding is required for file uploads:

<form role="form" class="form-horizontal" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">

Edit: To modify the From value, you can do the following:

if form.is_valid():
    instance = form.save()
    instance.From = request.user.email
    instance.save()
