"As I travelled looking for the film's lead actor, I realised that we are filled with talent. The non-actors were so good and exactly what I had imagined.

60 of them were shortlisted, 6 were taken, and the roles they were to play were decided.", says writer-director #PanNalin on the recently #Oscars2023 nominated #ChellowShow.
Set in rural Gujarat, the film is the story of a 9-year-old boy who begins a lifelong love affair with cinema when he bribes his way into a rundown movie palace and spends a summer watching movies from the projection booth.
The film was born out of one of Nalin's visits to Amreli to meet his father, where he learnt about a cinema projectionist earning a living by selling vegetables. This Gujarati feature will represent India in the best international film category at the 95th #AcademyAwards.
