“We’ve already shown films in towns but we wanted children in the villages to enjoy them too,” said the bespectacled 39-year-old with thick greying curly hair.
Sitting on coloured plastic chairs in the village of Sanjaq Saadun just before dusk, the boys and girls watch wide-eyed as the first black-and-white images of “The Kid” appear on screen. In local minds, cinema is also tied to tragedy, after a fire ripped through a theatre in the nearby town of Amuda in 1960, killing more than 280 children.
In primary school, he and others were taken to see films inappropriate for their age and in substandard conditions, he recalled.To give today’s children a different experience, “we’re now trying to substitute that darkness for something beautiful and colourful”, he said.The mobile cinema’s objective is also to screen “films linked to protecting the environment and personal freedoms”, Hinde said.
