Last Film Show

A 9-year-old boy from a remote village in India embarks on a lifelong love affair with cinema when he bribes his way into a rundown movie palace and spends a summer watching movies from the projection booth. As he becomes mesmerized by films and filmmaking, Samay decides to become a filmmaker, unaware of the heartbreaking times that await him. The film is semi-autobiographical, shot in villages and railway stations in Saurashtra, and focuses on hope and innocence, highlighting the end of single-screen cinema and 35mm celluloid films in India.
