Synopsis
For over 70 years, traveling projectionists have brought movie magic to the remote rural reaches of India. Lugging ancient projectors and giant tents to village fairs, they set up cinemas where none exist and show Bollywood hits and classics to enraptured audiences. Shot over 5 years, Shirley Abraham and Amit Madheshiya’s elegiac documentary follows the guardians of this twilight trade – an exhibitor, a showman, and a projector
repairman – and their struggles, joys, and memories as they face the march of time and technology. Celebrating the love for cinema in its purest form, The Cinema Travellers has traveled to numerous festivals around the world. Director
