hollywood pinafore , or the lad who loved a salary is a musical comedy in two acts by george s. kaufman , with music by arthur sullivan , based on gilbert and sullivan 's h.m.s. pinafore .

it opened on broadway at the alvin theatre on may 31 , 1945 , and closed on july 14 , 1945 after 52 performances .

it was directed by kaufman himself and starred shirley booth , victor moore , george rasely , and william gaxton .

the adaptation transplants the maritime satire of the original pinafore to a satire of the glamorous world of 1940s hollywood film making , but sullivan 's score is retained with minor adaptations .

according to howard teichmann 's 1972 biography george s. kaufman : an intimate portrait , kaufman had the inspiration for hollywood pinafore during a poker game with his friend charles lederer .

while lederer was arranging his cards , he idly sang a few bars of " when i was a lad " from pinafore while ad-libbing a new lyric : " oh , he nodded his head / and he never said ' no ' / and now he 's the head of the studio . "

kaufman insisted on paying lederer a token fee for the idea of transplanting pinafore 's setting to a hollywood studio .

although kaufman 's lyrics are witty , the book is static for a musical .

however , it has been revived a number of times in recent years , including a 1998 " lost musicals " staged concert production at the barbican centre in london .

hollywood pinafore is george s . kaufman ' s 1945 transplant of gilbert & sullivan ' s
h . m . s . pinafore
from the world of british maritime to a hollywood movie studio . arthur sullivan ' s sparkling score is wed with kaufman ' s canny , hilarious lyrics , making for a merry trip through the glamour and absurdity of hollywood . kaufman translates the original story of a naval captain ' s daughter , in love with a lowly sailor while promised to
the ruler of the queen ' s na - vee
, to that of a director ' s self - involved movie star daughter , in love with a lowly writer , while promised to theclueless studio head . the action plays amidst a swirl of hollywood types , including a daffy gossip columnist , a bundleofsunshine publicist , and a devious , sharp - as - a - tack agent - - who is , naturally , the villain of the piece . kaufman ' s wit is on full display in this delightful satire , complete with a surprising hollywood ending .
kaufman had always been a gilbert and sullivan fan and when a fellow card - player once murmured a bit of doggerel to a bit of hms pinafore —
he nodded his head and never said no , / and now he ' s the head of the studio
—kaufman was inspired . he used the tunes of sir arthur sullivan and , for the first time in his career , wrote the lyrics as well as the libretto to a new musical . although kaufman got some heat from the press for returning the scene of previous hollywood satires , pinafore remains fresh and imaginative . a great companion piece to the operettas of g & s , pinafore works brilliantly for those who know the original pieces and just as well for audiences encountering the songs for the first time .
this is an australia / new zealand release . the same publisher also offers a four - video package that includes cox and box , trial by jury , the sorcerer , and h . m . s . pinafore .
joseph porter heads pinafore pictures amid a swirl of recognisable hollywood types : louhedda hopsons , a gossip columnist a veritable chain gang of imprisoned screen writers and dumb blondes looking to become famous ; a devious agent , and brenda blossom , a love - struck starlet pining for a lowly writer , yet promised in marriage to the studio head by her father ( a director looking to advance his own career ) .

from the silent movie era and the glamour of 1920s hollywood , this classic show tells the heart - wrenching love story of two of its greatest legends ; director mack sennett “the king of comedy” and creator of the keystone kops , and his star mabel normand .
since its premiere in 1878 , gilbert and sullivan’s wildly popular operetta h . m . s . pinafore has delighted audiences with a nautically - tinged story of star - crossed lovers . the gentlemanly captain corcoran of the good ship pinafore has a daughter , josephine , who is in love with a lowly but gallant sailor named ralph rackstraw . the captain forbids the marriage , wanting to match josephine instead with the well - bred sir joseph , first lord of the admiralty . in the meantime , the captain finds himself in nearly the same position as his daughter : his former nanny , little buttercup , falls in love with him , but he hesitates to reciprocate due to his higher social rank . the whole situation is turned on its head when little buttercup reveals a game - changing secret she has kept for decades . a rollicking farce with endearing characters , memorable tunes , and a hilariously happy ending , h . ms pinafore is a classic , time - tested delight not to be missed .
while recent features have fizzled , brooks continued to delight audiences with his riotous appearances on tv as a talk show guest , such as his memorable turn on one of the last installments of the johnny carson tonight show in 1992 . while promoting life stinks , he appeared on three consecutive nights of later , the late - night talk show hosted by bob costas , where he rattled off many hilarious show biz anecdotes . in a more serious vein , as a guest on the revealing cable documentary series , naked hollywood , brooks spoke candidly about the machinations necessary to remain a player in contemporary hollywood .
what ' s brenda to do ? if she marries the poor , starving screen writer , ralph , she ' ll be tossed out of hollywood and forced to make a living on ( gasp ! ) the stage . it ' s too much to be endured . fortunately , everything turns out for the best for everyone when it is discovered that a mix - up in louhedda ' s column was responsible for ralph ' s fall from grace . in reality , it was ralph who was meant to head the studio instead of porter . upon this classic turnaround , happiness befalls each of the characters in turn - just what you ' d expect from a hollywood picture .
americans will recognize peter marshall as emcee of television ' s hollywood squares , but he has a broadway background , and perhaps others will share my surprise that he is actually a strong singer and a capable dancer . unfortunately , he turns the captain into a pantomime caricature , with mugging and overacting that simply don ' t belong in this opera .

in kaufman ' s hysterical reimagining of the world of gilbert and sullivan on a hollywood studio lot , this musical captures the broad personalities , the social satire , the plot contrivances and unforgettable music from the d ' oyly carte days . joseph porter is the bumbling head of pinafore pictures wants to be married to screen idol brenda blossom , who ' d far prefer to marry the poor but well - meaning script writer ralph rackstraw . faced with the terrible prospect of being poor and having to earn her living acting on a stage—
and should you give a bad performance upon the stage , the critics will actually say so in print ,
warns her agent , dick live - eye—brenda is in despair . but , at the final curtain , all is saved when movie columnist louhedda hopsons reveals that through a mix - up in her column , it is rackstraw who should be studio chief , while porter is demoted to being a lowly screenwriter . fade - out , the end .
as it happens , we need to talk about kevin , which stars tilda swinton and john c . reilly , is not a great film . but the fact that top - tier hollywood keeps coming back to this theme , year after year , is testament to the power of the creepy kid genre , and what it has to say about our anxieties regarding the nature - versus - nurture argument , where evil comes from , and what to do when evil appears to emerge from nowhere .
by now an established figure , he also directed most of the subsequent productions on which he worked . in the ’30s and ’40s these included “of thee i sing , ” for which he won a pulitzer , “face the music” ( director only ) , “let ‘em eat cake , ” “i’d rather be right , ” “sing out the news , ” “seven lively arts , ” “hollywood pinafore , ” and “park avenue” ( 1946 ) . in 1950 kaufman earned a tony award for his direction of the superb “guys and dolls , ” and , five years later , collaborated with his second wife , the actress leueen macgrath , on the book for the cole porter musical “silk stockings . ” his work in the musical theater was just a part of his wider output . he is credited with 45 plays written in conjunction with some 16 known collaborators who included edna furber , ring lardner , and his principal later collaborator moss hart . with hart he wrote some of the american theater’s most enduring comedies — “once in a lifetime , ” “you can’t take it with you” ( for which he won his second pulitzer prize ) , and “the man who came to dinner . ”
is not only a lead performer but is also the director and choreographer of hollywood revisited . he has directed everything from cabaret to industrial film and has been fortunate enough to perform and direct all over the world . selected directing credits include love ' s faire game ( feature film ) , the l . a . premiere of the musical the spitfire grill which received a best musical nomination from the ovation awards as well as the l . a . times ' critic ' s pick of the week , violet ( scenie award best musical and best direction and la premiere ) , songs for a new world ( bay area premiere , the rrazz room - san francisco ) , together at last ( 54 below nyc ) , the wedding night ( pick of the hollywood fringe ) , a ring in brooklyn ( scenie award , best choreography , noho arts center , world premiere ) , the journey of love ( guildford , england ) , passion by stephen sondheim ( the chromolume theater , los angeles ) . in addition , mr . finkel coaches acting and public speaking privately in los angeles - - his
patty mccormack ( in one of the creepiest of creepy kid performances of all time ) is a sweet - faced little blonde , with pigtails and a pinafore , roller - skating and skipping through the house . she knows the upstairs neighbor , an elderly lady who is quite taken with the child . rhoda is always polite when grownups are around , but can be vicious and ruthless to those she perceives as foes . she has exquisite manners . when she wants to get her way , she cuddles up to her mother in an adorable and yet pitiful way . it works like a charm . and yet her mother can ' t quite shed the feeling that something is a bit
off
with her daughter .
hollywood loves scary children . of all of the frightening images in stanley kubrick ' s the shining , the most haunting is the grady twins , those two dead - eyed girls in identical blue dresses standing at the end of the hallway . the twins call out in unison to the boy on his bicycle ,
hello danny . come and play with us . come and play with us , danny . forever . . . and ever . . . and ever .
jack nicholson galumphing around with an axe is pretty scary , but he ' s got nothing on those creepy twins .
creepy kids strike fear into our hearts , and make us shiver . a preternaturally mature and cunning child messes with our assumptions about the world in which we live and how it operates . this is true in real life as well , which is why hollywood loves to toss out a creepy kid once a season , because it reflects something accurate . when kids do horrible things , the entire culture jumpstarts into jittering overdrive , wondering why . is it marilyn manson ? too many video games ? were the parents neglectful ? or were the kids given too much ? there is never just one answer , and that is the scariest thing about it , because it can ' t be predicted or prevented .
there was no george white “scandals” in 1927 , but there was a show about the “scandals” entitled “manhattan mary , ” which ran for a decent 264 performances . white produced it and also co - wrote the book with billy k . wells . it too had songs by desylva , brown , and henderson , which included “the five - step” and “it won’t be long now , ” and starred white himself and the highly popular zany comedian ed wynn . the “scandals” proper resumed in 1928 , and there were further editions in 1929 and 1931 . in the latter show , the future movie star , alice faye , appeared in the chorus , and this time the songs were by lew brown and ray henderson ( desylva had gone to work in hollywood ) . ethel merman introduced the lovely “life is just a bowl of cherries” and “ladies and gentlemen , that’s love , ” as well as duetting with rudy vallee on “my song . ” vallee also sang “the thrill is gone” ( with everett marshall ) and “this is the missus” ( with peggy moseley ) . george white’s “music hall varieties” replaced the “scandals” in 1932 , and in the cast was another hollywood star of the future , tap - dancer supreme eleanor powell , and the likeable song - and - dance man ( among other things ) harry richman , who introduced herman hupfield’s delightful ballad , “let’s put out the lights and go to sleep . ”

he brought his own brand of “infectious , eye - popping pizzazz” to a string of hit shows : “a day in hollywood , a night in the ukraine” ( 1980 ) , “nine” ( 1982 ) , “my one and only” ( 1983 , in which he also co - starred with twiggy ) , “grand hotel” ( 1989 ) , and “the will rogers follies” ( 1991 ) . they gained him a total of nine tony awards , and induction into new york’s theater hall of fame in 1991 . in the following year , tune took time out from appearing in a lucrative u . s . tour of “bye bye birdie” to stage the london production of “grand hotel , ” which was greeted with apathy by the critics and public alike . in december 1992 he presented his own “tommy tune tonight ! ” on broadway for a limited period , prior to a 20 - week 1993 national tour . also in 1993 , he directed the takarazuka theater company in japan , and two years later , his new production of “grease” opened on broadway . during the remainder of the ’90s , he toured with “tommy tune and the rhythm kings : everything old is new again , ” but withdrew from the musicals “busker alley” and “the royal family” while they were still on the road . he also experienced problems with the broadway - bound stage version of the highly successful movie easter parade , in which he was set to play the fred astaire role . however , things looked up in january 1999 , when tune took over from david cassidy as the star of the special - effects musical spectacular “efx” in las vegas .

we need to talk about kevin , which opens nationwide on friday , features another creepy kid who does horrible things , and his evil seems to emerge from a clear blue sky . how did this happen ? was he born this way ?
in the bad seed ( 1956 ) , christine penmark ( played by nancy kelly ) makes the following statement about rhoda ( patty mccormack ) , her 9 - year - old daughter :
there ' s a maturity about her that my husband and i find disturbing .
there is a lot of literature out there about
bad
children , mini - psychopaths , and even more so now with the recent breakthroughs in genetic mapping and mri - work on brain functionality . the new consensus , which is an idea as old as time itself , is that psychopaths are often not made , but born . it has been a common belief for about two centuries that a child ' s environment is the key factor in developing its character , although psychiatrists and neuroscientists are now arguing that this is often not the case . while coming from a good home impacts a child ' s chances of living an upstanding life , there have always been horrifying crimes committed by children of
good
families , which throw the whole belief system into chaos . the columbine killers are the most notorious example , but the list is a long one .
the human race has been coming up with explanations for evil since the dawn of time . the devil fell from heaven , took up residence on earth , and has been making mischief ever since . man has the capability for evil because eve ate the apple . cain slew abel . that sin reminds us what we all are capable of .
john steinbeck ' s east of eden is a biblical parable of the cain and abel story . there are the
bad
brothers ( whose names start with c ) , and the good brothers ( whose names start with a ) , and their fates seem to be sealed from birth . cal , from the third generation , ( played by james dean in the movie of the same name ) is the first one who tries to be
good ,
at least as good as his brother aron . cal was born of the union between a saintly man named adam and a devilish woman named cathy . after the birth of cal , cathy promptly abandoned the family and set up a bordello in a nearby town . when steinbeck introduces us to cathy as a small child , it is , along with dostoevsky ' s raskolnikov in crime and punishment , the most insightful portrait of a psychopath ever put on paper . steinbeck doesn ' t mince words , and it is worth it to quote extensively :
i believe there are monsters born in the world to human parents . some you can see , misshapen and horrible , with huge heads or tiny bodies ; some are born with no arms , no legs , some with three arms , some with tails or mouths in odd places . they are accidents and no one’s fault , as used to be thought . once they were considered the visible punishment for concealed sins . and just as there are physical monsters , can there not be mental or psychic monsters born ? the face and body may be perfect , but if a twisted gene or a malformed egg can produce physical monsters , may not the same process produce a malformed soul ?
monsters are variations from the accepted normal to a greater or a less degree . as a child may be born without an arm , so one may be born without kindness or the potential of conscience . a man who loses his arms in an accident has a great struggle to adjust himself to the lack , but one born without arms suffers only from people who find him strange . having never had arms , he cannot miss them . sometimes when we are little we imagine how it would be to have wings , but there is no reason to suppose it is the same feeling birds have . no , to a monster the norm must seem monstrous , since everyone is normal to himself . to the inner monster it must be even more obscure , since he has no visible thing to compare with others . to a man born without conscience , a soul - stricken man must seem ridiculous . to a criminal , honesty is foolish . you must not forget that a monster is only a variation , and that to a monster the norm is monstrous .
it is my belief that cathy ames was born with the tendencies , or lack of them , which drove and forced her all of her life . some balance wheel was misweighed , some gear out of ratio . she was not like other people , never was from birth . and just as a cripple may learn to utilize his lack so that he becomes more effective in a limited field than the uncrippled , so did cathy , using her difference , make a painful and bewildering stir in her world .
there was a time when a girl like cathy would have been called possessed by the devil . she would have been exorcised to cast out the evil spirit , and if after many trials that did not work , she would have been burned as a witch for the good of the community . . .
even as a child she had some quality that made people look at her , then look away , then look back at her , troubled at something foreign . something looked out of her eyes , and was never there when one looked again . she moved quietly and talked little , but she could enter no room without causing everyone to turn toward her . . .
since cathy was an only child her mother had no close contrast in the family . she thought all children were like her own . and since all parents are worriers she was convinced that all her friends had the same problems .


mina walking is a 2015 drama film written and directed by yosef baraki .

it was screened in the generation 14plus section of the 65th berlin international film festival where it competed for the crystal bear .

the film follows a 12-year-old afghan street seller named mina as she tries to balance her education with her responsibly as the main breadwinner of the family .

if you see one movie at this year’s festival des films du monde ( ffm ) , make it mina walking .
mina walking is about 12 year - old mina , who cooks , sews , washes and works selling knick - knacks on the war - torn streets of kabul , afghanistan , to feed her neglectful father and senile grandfather . nobody praises her . she spends her life walking without looking back or stopping .
canadian director yosef baraki recalls his race against time to shoot mina walking in afghanistan as that country ' s intensifying war with the taliban came dangerously near .
the afghan ministry of culture helped production on mina walking by supplying camera equipment , and giving baraki a crew of five young students from a local kabul film school .
mina walking had its première at the berlin international film festival in february , marking the arrival of an audacious canadian filmmaker with a unique vision and stirring sense of adventure .
also remaining still and calm was 12 - year - old farzana nawabi , who plays the young female lead in mina walking , which had its world premiere at the berlin film festival in the generation sidebar .
the way yosef baraki tells it , a close encounter with an afghan - taliban firefight in kabul while shooting his debut feature mina walking was more worrying for the young canadian director than for his local cast and crew .
mina’s decision to educate herself rather than look after her grandfather unleashes events that change her life forever .
nawabi won the best - actress award for her performance at both the zlin film festival in the czech republic ( where mina walking won an honorary prize from the ecumenical jury ) and the saarc film festival in sri lanka .
“because we were such a small crew , we were shooting [ mina walking ] guerrilla style . once we went out on our own with a van and our five people crew , we were cut off , ” baraki remembered .
farzana nawabi plays the title role of a 12 - year - old girl forced to sell trinkets on the street to support her family in mina walking . she captured director yosef baraki’s attention from their first encounter : “she would talk back a lot and challenge me , which was like my vision of mina as a young warrior . ”
mina walking is produced by baraki films , a toronto indie prodco formed by producer andrew korogyi and baraki , who earlier collaborated on yosef’s short film der kandidat , about a mother attempting to save her son from the horrors of nazi eugenics .
12 year - old mina cooks , sews , washes and works selling knick - knacks on the war - torn streets of kabul to feed her neglectful father and senile grandfather . nobody praises her . she spends her life walking without looking back or stopping .
he used a similar approach in mina walking , focusing on the details in the daily life of the main character . scenes were shot on the fly , based on a rough treatment that left ample room for improvising , both by his actors and himself .
the narrative trajectory is a little familiar , but nawabi ' s steely performance will keep you invested in mina ' s plight .
in a country where women cannot travel freely or safely alone , baraki and his cast and crew often found themselves besieged by local afghans hurling abuse at 12 - year - old nawabi for acting in mina walking , which bowed this week at the berlinale as part of the generation sidebar .
“ mina walking displays a creativity and resourcefulness unhampered by limited funding or difficult filming conditions on location in the middle east , ” said academy ceo helga stephenson . “it is a film made against all odds , with a unique voice and vision , worthy of this inaugural canadian screen award . ”
this year’s csa nominations press event also featured the presentation of an academy special award . the academy presented its new discovery award , sponsored by telefilm canada’s talent fund program , to the team behind mina walking . the prize was accepted by director yosef baraki and producers andrew korogyi and asef baraki .
the young director hopes to return to kabul to shoot an updated movie about his mina character , one where she is a teen .
mina walking screens thursday , sept . 3 at 6 p . m . and friday , sept . 4 at 11 : 40 a . m . at quartier latin cinema , 350 émery st . , as part of the festival des films du monde . for tickets and more information , visit urltoken .
mina walking , in an echo of malala yousafzai , the nobel - winning pakistani teenager campaigning for the rights of girls to an education , portrays a young girl struggling to stay in school while having to sell in the streets to support her drug - addicted father and senile grandfather after her mother is killed by the taliban .
toronto | montreal , january 19 , 2016 – the new discovery award , sponsored by the talent fund for canada’s top emerging talent making movies with micro - budgets under c $ 250 , 000 , was presented to mina walking at the academy’s canadian screen awards press conference . director yosef baraki and producers andrew korogyi and asef baraki accepted this academy special award .
mina is a typical feisty and energetic 12 - year - old girl , except she lives in modern day kabul , afghanistan and her circumstances are anything but typical . after losing her mother to a taliban attack , mina is left alone to take care of the household , looking after her senile grandfather , while her drug addict father wastes away . eager to learn , mina must skip school in order to earn a meager living for the household peddling souvenirs on the street . thu nov 12 , 8 : 00pm - aga khan museum director yosef baraki
his film portrays mina trying to stay in school and avoid a life as a kabul street seller as she struggles to care for her father , a useless junkie , and her senile grandfather after her mother was killed by the taliban .
the character of mina is largely based on the two sisters and what baraki saw and was told , by them , of their lives . he was especially struck that these young girls appeared to sell more and be more intrepid than their elder siblings .
though afghan women are no longer prisoners in their homes after the ouster of the taliban , the country’s destabilization after years of war has alienated impoverished women from education . for children like mina this means the responsibility to work in order to support her family . thus , she wanders kabul’s streets selling cheap trinkets to feed her alzheimer stricken grandfather and her heroin addicted father . but mina wants to be normal so she secretly attends classes ; a decision that sets in motion a chain of events that change her life forever .

baraki and his team were in a kabul fortress and about to roll the cameras on a scene in which his film’s strong young female protagonist , mina , is to run to a tank to deliver a package . suddenly , the approaching sound of distant mortar rounds rang out .
favorite tv character we miss most dr . cristina yang played by sandra oh ( grey’s anatomy ) dr . lance sweets played by john francis daley ( bones ) hershel greene played by scott wilson ( the walking dead ) leslie shay played by lauren german ( chicago fire ) neal cassidy played by michael raymond - james ( once upon a time )
saddled by a senile grandfather and a neglectful father , mina , an impulsive twelve - year - old afghan street seller sees her future slipping away when she is forced to neglect her education and walk the streets of kabul to support her fragmented family . in the seven days that follow her life , mina’s quest to emancipate her father from the claws of a local drug dealer and her attempt to secretly attend school underlines the current struggle of a young generation of afghans trying to shake off the echoes of oppression from the taliban era that continues to haunt those who bore witness to it .
this is one of my favourite films of the year , with one of my favourite leads of all time . watching mina breathlessly struggle to escape the shackles of her life is an exhilarating , heartbreaking experience . it doesn ' t try to hide under a whole lot of film craft - it presents the story in a simple , honest fashion .

“i never wanted to make mina a hero , or someone who triumphs at the end , ” baraki said . “it was never my intention to glorify her . i wanted the viewer to experience life , and see the small details of the culture . i wanted to transport the audience into kabul and get a sense of what it is like now , today . ”
for baraki , mina reflects an entire post - taliban generation of children in afghanistan caring for families scarred by decades of war .
we think of this new generation of afghans having an opportunity that the past never offered them . but i observed on visits to afghanistan children taking care of parents and grandparents taken out of school and forced to sell in the streets ,
he said .
i could hear boom , boom , boom . it was far off , but every second the sound felt nearer and near ,
baraki told the hollywood reporter in berlin about the sound of mortar shells fired by the taliban as his cameras captured the canada - afghanistan co - production ' s main character , mina , an impulsive 12 - year - old afghan street seller played by farzana nawabi .
“i was in canada , she was in kabul , ” baraki said . “i had had brief conversations with three to four other girls . from the first moment we interacted , she was very different , like the character i envisioned . she was open , talkative ; most of all , she would talk back a lot and challenge me , which was like my vision of mina as a young warrior . ”

talent fund advisory committee chair , hartley t . richardson , added : “filmmakers , like business owners , have to be entrepreneurial , imaginative and proactive in creating their stories and in bringing them to their audiences—the marketplace . on behalf of talent fund donors , we’re proud to invest in the success of canada’s next generation of creators . through this partnership with the academy of canadian cinema & television for the discovery award , the talent fund is making a difference for emerging talent , both women and men , from all regions of our country . ”
discovery award sponsored by the talent fund | academy special award the talent fund helps the film industry diversify its funding sources and promote its successes . under the leadership of an advisory committee of eight business and community leaders , the fund has raised over $ 15 million to date from companies , foundations and individuals . the money is being invested over a period of seven years . seventy - five percent of telefilm canada’s micro - budget production program is financed by the talent fund .
the micro - budget production program is being revised for 2016 - 2017 to support a wider diversity of emerging talent . most notably , the definition of eligible projects is being extended to include , in addition to feature films , web content of under 75 minutes in length .
the academy’s discovery award arises from a desire to celebrate the emerging talent who have cut their teeth on the film festival circuit ( their films must play in two academy - approved canadian festivals to compete ) , but have not yet had a theatrical release in the calendar year . the discovery award bridges a gap for canada’s emerging talent to be applauded at the canadian screen awards .

when we were filming in busy streets or markets and people saw me pointing a camera at her [ nawabi ] , they would yell out insults , they would throw things at her and shout she should be ashamed to play in a film , she should be at home , not on the street talking to boys ,
baraki recalled .
unlike other movies shot in afghanistan , like hell and back again and restrepo , this one had no budget for 24 / 7 security for the movie set , the canadian director said . so to avoid drawing attention , baraki often positioned his camera on a roof top , or from an office window , and used a long lens to capture nawabi and fellow castmembers in a scene below .

baraki ' s debut feature was structured as a canada - afghan coproduction , with one shoot inadvertently bringing the crew near a taliban firefight in kabul .
“i could hear boom , boom , boom . it was far off , but every second the sound felt nearer and near , ” baraki said of the fired shots from the taliban landing at the nearby kabul airport . “we couldn’t get clear sound , so we stopped [ production ] and no one moved , and we didn’t leave . i asked the crew if this is normal and they said yes . ”
“ [ farzana ] didn’t hide . she was waiting , undisturbed . it’s a daily occurrence , she told me , ” baraki recalled .
baraki’s first feature was shot over 19 days in kabul with a hand - held camera after being structured as a canada - afghanistan coproduction .
also supporting baraki with is debut feature was siddiq barmak , the veteran afghan director ( osama ) , who helped cast nawabi , coach her in the lead role , while acting as a go - between the young canadian director and the afghan government .
the kabul shoot faced more danger than just far - off shelling by the taliban .
baraki often had to shoot scenes from a roof - top , or an overhead office window , to avoid alerting locals suspicious of video cameras after that country’s long conflict .
on occasion , locals would rain down abuse on nawabi for appearing in a movie .
“when we were filming in busy streets or markets and people saw me pointing a camera at her ( nawabi ) , they would yell out insults , they would throw things at her and shout she should be ashamed to play in a film , she should be at home , not on the street talking to boys , ” baraki recalled .
but baraki , whose family emigrated to canada from afghanistan , doesn’t expect that country’s political and religious troubles to end anytime soon .
“if i went there in a year’s time , i think that things wouldn’t change . i don’t know that things would get worse . but people have suffered from decades of war , ” he said .

slāv fallout : cultural zealots ' victory over robert lepage is theatre ' s . . .
the afghan - canadian co - production , by former montrealer yosef baraki , is a bold , cinematically rich look at afghan life from the point of view of a 12 - year - old girl forced to sell trinkets on the street to support her derelict father and ill grandfather .
and it is a rare success story for the ffm , which gave the norman mclaren award for best student film to baraki’s 2013 short der kandidat . that came with a $ 5 , 000 prize , which the budding director used to purchase the canon 5d camera with which he shot this film , his feature debut .
born in kabul to an afghan father and slovak mother , baraki immigrated with his family , first to europe and then , in 1998 , to montreal . they lived in montreal north for five years , and it was here that the director , now 25 , had the first inkling of his professional aspirations .
“i remember the moment , when i was 12 and i told myself , ‘this is what you’re going to do . ’ i guess if i had to analyze it , we moved a lot from country to country , house to house . i didn’t have a lot of social life . every time i met people , we moved . so i had to protect myself and invent a life of my own . movies were the answer to that . ”
baraki studied film briefly at york university , where he dropped out in his first year , and then at humber college , where he thrived with the school’s more hands - on approach .
when he began pondering his first feature , he looked to his homeland . he went to visit his father , who now lives in afghanistan , working in … “umm , how am i going to put this ? ” baraki said . “it’s sensitive . he works with nato , let’s say . ”
knowing he wanted to make a film about afghan culture , the director’s attention was captured by a group of kids selling things on the streets of kabul .
“these street children have to work for their parents , or to support themselves if they’re orphaned , ” baraki said . “they would hang around the government offices , because they know that people with money work there . as soon as someone walks by , they hound them and offer whatever they have — a scarf , a world cup statue made of plastic . ”
“they were 10 or 11 , with their two older brothers , who were in their 20s . they were always there , willing to talk and help out . a lot of them appear in the final version of the film . it started when i spent time with them , looking for an ‘in’ to the culture . i had been away for so long , i needed someone to help mediate my way back into it . ”
when he went hunting for his lead actress , he knew he had to find a protagonist with as much spunk as his research subjects . he found what he was looking for in farzana nawabi , whom he first met via skype .
the film also garnered baraki the lindalee tracey award for an emerging canadian filmmaker at this year’s hot docs festival in toronto , although it is not a documentary and was not screened at the festival . ( the prize is open to all canadian directors . )
baraki admits to taking a documentary approach to film , inspired by his idols the dardenne brothers .
“i love everything they do , ” he said , “their observation of the working class . i enjoy ( their portrayal of ) realness through people doing things , instead of being forced by a plot to entertain . i respond very strongly to their films . ”
“i knew if i wrote a full script , it wasn’t going to be as good as what i found on the street , ” he said . “every day , we would get in the van and travel to locations . i’d scout what was possible and try to be in the moment . i have such a hard time making decisions — i over - think everything . this was an experiment to force myself to make quick decisions . ”
his goal was to offer an up - close and glamour - free glimpse of afghan reality .
correction : an earlier version of this story said yosef baraki’s mother is czech . she is slovak . the montreal gazette regrets the error .
