Last Film Show Continues Its Dream Run Overseas With Its Gala Premiere At The 46th CIFF

Cleveland International Film Festival (CIFF) in its 46th year, celebrating the best in Arts and Cinema will be having the gala premiere of Pan Nalin's Last Film Show on 1st & 2nd April 2022. The screening of this marvellous Indian film will be held at the historical KeyBank State Theatre which has a seating capacity of 3200. CIFF promotes artistically and culturally significant film arts and its invitation to screen Last Film Show reinforces our faith in the power of cinema.

"Last Film Show is creating some major landmarks not just in Festivals but on the International distribution front as well. Renowned Studios in business for over 100 years have picked up Last Film Show for distribution. Samuel Goldwyn Films in the US, Shochiku Films in Japan, etc. showing their confidence in LFS is a matter of huge pride for all Indians. Last Film Show is surging ahead purely on the sheer power of its merit and word-of-mouth publicity, says Writer-Director Pan Nalin.

Last Film Show had its Swiss Premiere last week at the 36th edition of the Fribourg International Film Festival (FIFF) in Fribourg held from 18th - 27th March 2022 in Switzerland. When Last Film Show-the winner of the Golden Spike Award at the 66th Seminci-arrived in Spain on March 18th, it became the first Gujarati film to find overseas release in the post-pandemic world. The film, which received widespread acclaim in Spain, from both audiences and critics, continues to have over 150 shows a day across 40 screens in the country.

Produced by Jugaad Motion Pictures and Monsoon Films, the Last Film Show is an Indo-French co-production represented by French giants, UGC and L'ORANGE Studios. Pan Nalin's partly autobiographical film, Last Film Show is slated to release in cinema theatres across the globe, including Germany, Israel, Taiwan, and soon, India, in the coming weeks.

The main credits in the film include Bhavin Rabari (as Samay), Bhavesh Shrimali (as Fazal, Projectionist at the Galaxy Cinema), Richa Meena (as Baa, Samay's mother), Dipen Raval (as Bapuji Samay's father), Paresh Mehta (Galaxy Cinema Manager), Vikas Bata (as Nano), Rahul Koli (as Manu), Shoban Makwa (as Badshah), Kishan Parmar (as S.T.), Vijay Mer (as Tiku), Alpesh Tank (as Teacher Mr. Dave), and Tia Sebastien (as Leela Mila).
When the magic of movies conquers nine-year young Samay's heart, he moves heaven and earth in pursuit of his 35mm dreams unaware of the heart-breaking times that await him. Watch out for this masterpiece by writer-director Pan Nalin.
