Notre avis
Churning out B-movie magic on shoestring budgets in a war-torn country, Salim Shaheen is Afghanistan’s most popular and prolific filmmaker. Director Sonia Krunland follows this force of nature for a poignant documentary portrait suffused with wonder, forging a triumphant ode to the power of cinema.
