Superman of Malegaon – US Premier at IFFLA
Print
The documentary Superman of Malegaon earned debut director Faiza Ahmad Khan the Best Documentary at Asiaticafilmmediale, Italy’s biggest event dedicated to Asian films. You can see it this Saturday night at the Indian Film Festival of Los Angeles.
From the IFFLA Web site:
Over a hundred miles outside of Mumbai in the textile factory town of Malegaon, director Nasir has thrilled the local public with his homemade spoof films. In their most ambitious project to date, Nasir and his hard working group of actors, writers, and crew set out to shoot “Superman of Malegaon”, a story about a hero sent down the river to save the town.
Documentary filmmaker Faiza Ahmad Khan chronicles Nasir’s hilarious attempts to overcome a myriad of unseen challenges from dropping his camera in the water to his lead actor getting married. Through it all, Nasir and his team use their creativity to forge ahead. SUPERMEN OF MALEGAON will remind even the most cynical moviegoers of the sheer joy and excitement inherent in films and filmmaking.
All reviews of this film we have seen have been glowing! If you are in Los Angeles, don’t miss the opportunity to see this film!

This is so cool. Few months ago, while screening Be Kind Rewind, we had stumbled upon this a news article about Malegaon. An interesting discussion followed, and many people asked if we can get to watch this documentary film.
And now this. The world is indeed a small place. Anyone meeting the makers please get their contacts and let me know. Would love to bring it to Bangalore.
