The Prince of Nothingwood, GFT
16 – 24 December, 2017
Sonia Kronlund’s touching and funny documentary, that screened to acclaim at Cannes 2017, follows Salim Shaheen, the Ed Wood of Afghanistan. A force of nature, Shaheen has managed to make and self-distribute no fewer than 110 films despite the country’s on-going war and conflicts. Keenly aware of the power of performance, he uses charisma and confidence to fuel his productions. Bolstered by warmly flamboyant characters and Kronlund’s thoughtful voiceover, The Prince of Nothingwood is an intriguing, infectious story, a love letter to filmmaking.
