Exclusive Simshar Premiere with Q&A 7pm Monday 28 September with special guest writer/director Rebecca Cremona. Book tickets now www.newfarmcinemas.com.au
'Simshar' is a fictional film inspired by real events. It is a fictional interpretation. Our thoughts go to the families of all those affected by this tragedy.
Ms Cremona, who has already won a Directors Guild of America Jury Prize for her period short Magdalene, is not coy about voicing her ambition.
“We want Simshar to do the festival run across the world. It’s an independent film with mainstream appeal, and hopefully it will do well.”
“Some people think this is a multi-million-euro production in which money isn’t any problem. But the truth is that a lot of it is down to friends, family and sponsors – from the Godwin’s Garage cherry pickers to Movie People cameras, to my mother feeding the crew three times a day.”
‘Simshar’ will be Malta’s first feature length film to be accepted as Malta's official entry for the 87th Academy Awards.
