Poster for “ I am hungry mom!”
This year we plan to produce at least two films; a short fiction and a medium length which are ready to shoot.
The short fiction which is our first actual production was planned to be completed by the end of March 07 but due to lack of needed facilities and resources it has been postponed to the beginning of May.
The second film which is titled “Keys for the Paradise” is a fourty five minutes long screenplay which is also written by Amin Wahidi. For the second project we have the screenplay ready but we are still looking for international producers to produce it or co-produce it with us.
The screenplay “Keys for the paradise” has a very rare story plot and is about the last twenty four hours of life of an Afghan suicide bomber who at the last minutes decides not to blast himself for an imagination he finds.
It is to say that in spite of all problems and obstacles in filmmaking in Afghanistan Amin Wahidi as the director of Deedenow Cinema makes every effort to produce “I am hungry mom!” this year to send it at least to Pusan International Film Festival 2007 and Venice International Film Festival 2007.
We also hope this year we can find producer for our second screenplay “Keys for the Paradise” which has a sensational and controversial plot story that has rarely been written before.
It is worth mentioning that Deedenow Cinema has had a much closed relationship with the Academy of Arts and Cinematic Education and it aims to keep this mutual co-operative relationship continuous in the future too.
