Samay, a 9-year-old boy living with his family in a remote village in India discovers films for the first time and is absolutely mesmerized. Against his father’s wishes, he returns to the cinema day after day to watch more films, and even befriends the projectionist, who, in exchange for his lunch box, lets him watch movies for free. He quickly figures out that stories become light, light becomes films, and films become dreams. Samay and his wild gang of friends move heaven and earth to catch and project light to achieve a 35mm film projection. But little do they know that soon they’ll be forced to make heartbreaking choices as an era is approaching to annihilate everything they love about their 35mm dreams… (Samuel Goldwyn Films US)

English An unsentimentally emotional and beautifully shot film about the love of film and old cinemas. Serving as a tribute to cinema and the world’s directors, Last Film Show tells the story of a journey to find one’s heart in spite of family traditions and predestination, and it succeeds completely as a social drama with a dash of culinary cinema, while also refreshingly thematizing film from the material perspective and capturing the death of the film medium in an extraordinary way.
