Nothingwood
a film by :Sonia Kronlund
About a hundred kilometers away from Kabul, Salim Shaheen, the most popular and prolific actor-director-producer in Afghanistan, comes to show some of his 110 films and to shoot the 111th in the process.
He has brought with him his regular troupe of actors, each more eccentric and out of control than the next. That trip is an opportunity for us to get to know Shaheen, a real movie buff who has been making Z movies tirelessly for more than thirty years in a country at war. Nothingwood is the story of a man who spends his life making his childhood dreams come true.
À une centaine de kilomètres de Kaboul, Salim Shaheen, l'acteur-réalisateur-producteur le plus populaire et prolifique d’Afghanistan, est venu projeter quelques-uns de ses 110 films et tourner le 111ème au passage. Ce voyage dans lequel il a entraîné sa bande de comédiens, tous plus excentriques et incontrôlables les uns que les autres, est l'occasion de faire la connaissance de cet amoureux du cinéma, qui fabrique sans relâche des films de série Z dans un pays en guerre depuis plus de trente ans. Nothingwood livre le récit d’une vie passée à accomplir un rêve d’enfant.
