Said Chaleh runs a cinema in the heart of Kabul, Afghanistan: Cinema Pameer. With his film screenings, he provides an oasis of calm to residents who have a long history of war and terror. Cigarette smoke so thick that the projector can barely shine through, a cinema manager recruiting audiences in the streets… a film screening at Cinema Pameer is a little different from the average Western cinema.
Cinema Pameer is a visually powerful documentary that shows how cinema can provide solace.
