Salim Baba is a 2007 American short documentary film directed by Tim Sternberg. It was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Documentary Short.[1]
The film follows Salim Muhammad, a 55-year-old man who lives in Kolkata with his wife and children. Since the age of ten he's supported himself by screening discarded film scraps for area children using a hand-cranked projector that he inherited from his father. A businessman as well as a cinephile, Salim runs his projector with his sons hoping that they will carry on this tradition.[2]
Salim Baba was co-produced by Ropa Vieja Films and Paradox Smoke Productions, with a grant from the Urban Arts Initiative and financial support from the Independent Feature Project.[2] The film was presented as part of Maryland Film Festival's Opening Night shorts program on the evening of May 1, 2008.
