Filmmakers attending.
Somalia in the Picture traces a century of cinema in Mogadishu, where today gorgeous movie palaces lay in ruin. Director Mark Brecke brings this story into even clearer focus, following fellow director Said Salah Ahmed, as Ahmed tries to find a single print of his lost masterpiece, The Somalia Dervishes, a nearly 5 hour epic from 1985.
