His wife thinks he’s obsessed, but rewind boy Ümit isn’t convinced. The film follows Ümit Mesut, a colourful East London shop keeper, as he fights to keep his passion for celluloid alive in an ever changing digital world….He strikes the switch, then the lamp and the show begins.

A few years ago I used to live round the corner from this guy’s shop. My friends were convinced it was a front for dodgy backroom dealings of some kind or other, because no one could imagine who actually bought anything from there. Now 16mm film is all the rage with the arty types, of course.
Nice watch. Interesting to hear about his love for films and the process of getting film at markets.
