Last Film Show
Last Film Show, also known as Chhello Show, is a 2021 Indian Gujarati-language coming-of-age drama film directed by Pan Nalin. It stars Bhavin Rabari, Bhavesh Shrimali, Richa Meena, Dipen Raval and Paresh Mehta. The film premiered at the 20th Tribeca Film Festival on 10 June 2021 and was theatrically released in India on 14 October 2022.
This film was selected as the Indian entry for the Best International Feature Film at the 95th Academy Awards, and subsequently got Shortlisted in the category.
Nine-year-old Samay (Bhavin Rabari) from Chalala, a village in Saurashtra, Gujarat, India spends an entire summer watching films, from the projection booth of a rundown movie place, by bribing the projectionist - Fazal (Bhavesh Shrimali). He is absolutely mesmerized by films and filmmaking, to the point that he decides to become a filmmaker, unaware of the heartbreaking times that await him.
The film is semi-autobiographical as Nalin was born and brought up in Adtala village in Saurashtra. Six village boys from local communities of the region were cast. The film was shot in villages and railway station in Saurashtra. He also brought old celluloid Hindi films and a technician to run projectors. The cast is mostly made of child actors. Dilip Shankar, Nalin's friend and casting director, assisted Nalin in casting the child actors. The film was shot in March 2020, just before the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown in India. The post-production was completed during the pandemic. The film is produced by Dheer Momaya's Jugaad Motion Pictures, Nalin's Monsoon Films and Marc Duale's Stranger88 in co-production with Virginie Lacombe's Virginie Films and Eric Dupont's Incognito films.
The film focuses on hope and innocence. It also highlight ending culture of single-screen cinema and 35mm celluloid films in India.
Ahead of its premiere, the film was acquired by Neue Visionen for Germany, Karma Films for Spain, Shochiku for Japan, Red Cape and Nachson for Israel and Nos Lusomundo for Portugal.
The film premiered at the Spotlight section of the 20th Tribeca Festival on 10 June 2021. It was the first Gujarati film that was selected for this section of the festival.
More than a year after its premiere at Tribeca, Siddharth Roy Kapur's Roy Kapur Films acquired the rights to present and distribute Last Film Show in its home country of India, in partnership with PVR Pictures, the motion picture distribution arm of PVR Cinemas. The film was theatrically released in Gujarat and on screens across India on 14 October 2022.
