Hollywoodgate | Stranger Than Fiction

In the organizer's words:

HOLLYWOODGATE

USA/D 2023 - 91' - OVD - Director: Ibrahim Nash'at

Immediately after the withdrawal of US troops from Afghanistan, filmmaker Ibrahim Nash'at accompanies a group of Taliban who take over the former CIA base "Hollywoodgate" in Kabul. With his camera, he documents the unique moment of the takeover of the "enemy camp" - men in the throes of victory, appropriating weapons, aircraft, tools and everyday objects from the Americans. With the help of this war machinery left behind, a powerful military state quickly emerges from the hands of the terrorist militia. Director Ibrahim Nash'at continues his filming for over a year. With great skill, he explores the Taliban's control center from the inside. He sheds light on how they have developed from an extremist militia into a powerful military regime. His documentary is captivating in every respect.

In a purely observational narrative, HOLLYWOODGATE is a cinematic masterpiece and a document of contemporary historical significance. Pablo Bücheler DOK.fest Munich
