Project Description

We are delighted to launch pre-orders for the DVD of the award-winning Maltese film Simshar, together with special perks, on this local platform! 

Through Zaar we are able to offer those who pre-order some personalised limited edition material; including a special cinema screening, limited edition posters, bundle deals and signing sessions where you can get your DVD custom signed!

Inspired by true events, Simshar tells the story of 11-year-old Theo who goes out to sea with his father Simon, grandfather Karmenu and a Malian worker, Moussa. Disaster strikes when an accident aboard the fishing boat leaves them stranded in open water. Meanwhile, a Turkish merchant vessel rescues a group of refugees whose boat had capsized while crossing the Mediterranean Sea. The two stories collide with tragic consequences…

The DVD comes in a lovely digipak with four collector’s postcards. Other than the film, the disc includes a 45-minute behind the scenes featurette, never before seen deleted scenes, the official trailer, and the very first conceptual trailer. Simshar is a bilingual film (Maltese and English), with options of French or English subtitles. Or none at all.
