Deckchair Cinema
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 mesmerised. He returns to the cinema day after day to watch more films and befriends the projectionist, who, in exchange for his lunches, lets him watch movies for free. He quickly figures out that stories become light, light becomes films, and films become dreams. When the cinema closes, Samay and his wild gang of friends move heaven and earth to catch and project light. Together, they use an innovative hack and jubilantly succeed in making their own 35mm film projection. But following your dreams often means leaving everything you love behind.
