Afilm is honoured to announce DANCING WITH DOLLY, feature documentary film created by Afilm alumnus Charbel Bou-Antoun,, at the Ojo Cojo Documentary Film Festival in Madrid.
Shot in Agra, India, and currently in final stages of postproduction, Charbel shares Dolly’s story, a 14 year old girl who at the age of 12 was attacked with acid and has come to terms with her disfigurement with the help of other survivors who also share their empowering stories.
Charbel, originally from Lebanon and residing in London, studied film at Afilm in Sitges, Spain (Introduction to Filmmaking & Digital Feature Film programmes), where he co-wrote and co-directed his first feature film ‘Dancing Dogs’ in 2012,( Premier, Sitges International Film Festival). Since then, he has worked on music videos and short films in Tokyo, Japan. Afilm Studio is a proud collaborator of this project.
The Madrid Documentary Film Festival, El Ojo Cojo, is the First International Film Festival of Madrid to promoting sensible cinema and intercultural dialogue.
Congratulations Charbel!
