Movie- LAST FILM SHOW (4.45pm)
When the magic of movies conquers nine-year young Samay’s heart; he moves heaven and earth in pursuit of his 35mm dreams unaware of heartbreaking times that await him.
James Croot Waikato Times/ Stuff 4/5 Stars “A powerful, evocative celebration of cinema and lament for a lost art.“
Last Film Show (Chhello Show) was Shortlisted for Nominations by The Academy for Best International Feature at The 95th Oscars 2023.
Last Film Show is inspired by filmmaker Pan Nalin’s own childhood. This ode to cinema unfolds against the remote Indian countryside of the year 2010/11 in the state of Gujarat, India. After watching a movie at Galaxy Cinema, a free-spirited young kid SAMAY’s life turns upside down as he passionately falls in love with the power of movies. He steals money from his father’s tea-stall, and skips school to watch movies. Samay and his gang move heaven and earth to make their own DIY 35mm movie show. .
