KHALID SHAMIS
Meio líbio, meio sul-africano, Khalid viveu durante vários anos em Londres (Reino Unido). Tem realizado e editado documentários, embora a ritmos muito diferentes. Os seus próprios filmes já chegaram a demorar 7 anos até serem finalizados, no entanto, enquanto editor, tem montado e completado vários filmes por ano.
Esta experiência – a de montar e editar filmes de outros – tem sempre uma dimensão algo estranha pois implica deixar-se impregnar por universos alheios, que contêm visões diferentes das suas, ajudar a dar expressão aos temas dos filmes e, desse ponto de vista, obriga-o a deixar-se “conduzir” por aquilo que o material desses filmes pede e exige.
Khalid Shamis é um realizador, guionista, editor e produtor actualmente baseado em Cape Town (África do Sul) onde fundou a produtora Tuba Films. Alguns dos seus filmes – como “Afrikaaps” (2010), “Imam and I” (2011) e “The Silent Form (2016)” – mereceram destaque e distinções internacionais. Deu aulas na WITS University (joanesburgo), é membro da South African Guild of Editors, obteve inúmeros prémios pelos seus trabalhos e o fundador da Tuba Films.

KHALID SHAMIS
Half Libyan half South African, former Londoner. Khalid manages to both direct and edit documentaries, although at vastly different paces. His own films have taken up to 7 years to finish whereas he constructs and completes numerous films a year as an editor.
This becomes a strange place of guiding first time filmmakers, directing directors, imbibing worlds alien to his, containing and creating another’s vision, manifesting the dreams of the subjects in the films and being taken by the voice of the material itself.
Khalid Shamis is a director, screenwriter and producer currently based in CapeTown (South Africa) where he founded Tuba Films, a film production company. Some of his most notable works including “Afrikaaps (2010), “Imam and I” (2011) and “The Silent Form” (2016) have received international praise. He has lectured at the WITS University in Johannesburg, holds the South African Guild of Editors acronym and has acquired numerous awards for his work. He is the founder of Tuba Films.
