In 1999 Hussain Sadiqi fled the remote mountains of central Afghanistan as the Taliban stepped up their violent persecution of the Hazara people. This was to be the start of Hussain’s epic 20,000km journey to Australia. 10 years later, this self confessed ‘nomad’ is about to give up his new life in his new country to pursue a life long dream - a dream that was born over 20 years ago, when a young Hussain first saw a torn and battered picture of his life long hero, Bruce Lee. *OFFICIAL SELECTIONS* Autumn Human Rights Film Festival, Afghanistan, October 2011 Santa Barbara International Film Festival, US, January 2012 Big Sky Documentary Film Festival, US, Feburary 2012 Byron Bay International Film Festival, Australia, March 2012 West End Film Festival, Australia, March 2012 Dungog Film Festival, Australia, June 2012 Prescott Film Festival, US, August 2012 Inland NSW Film Festival, Australia, September 2012 Canberra Short Film Festival, Australia, September 2012 Atlanta International Documentary Film Festival, US, September 2012 Blue Mountains Film Festival, Australia, October 2012 Cockatoo Island Film Festival, Australia, October 2012 Human Rights Arts and Film Festival, Australia, May 2013 Madrid International Film Festival, Spain, June 2013 Sports Movies & TV - 31st Milano International FICTS Fest, Italy, December 2013 Saguenay International Short Film Festival, Canada, March 2014 Interfilm International Short Film Festival Berlin, Germany, October 2014 *AWARDS* Audience Award – Best Film, 2012 West End Film Festival *NOMINATIONS* Best Film, Best Director, Best Sound Design – Canberra Short Film Festival Best Film – Blue Mountains Film Festival Best Short Documentary – Madrid International Film Festival Best Director/ Short Documentary – Madrid International Film Festival *CREDITS* Director: Gavain Browne Producer: Alex Barnes, Gavain Browne Executive Producer: John Cavallaro Cinematography: Jason Hargreaves ACS / Jared Bazley Editor: Derryn Watts Composer: Ryan Walsh @ SST Workshop Sound Design: Justin Harrison Sound Mix and Design: Regatta Studios Colourist: Tristan La Fontaine Online Editor: Derryn Watts Produced by Silver Screen Pictures and Lume Creative The Art of Fighting Facebook film page: www.facebook.com/theartoffighting For more details please contact: Alex Barnes | Producer AUS: +61 434 029 590 alex@silverscreenpictures.com.au silverscreenpictures.com.au
