Faiza Ahmad Khan
Supermen of Malegaon (2008), by Faiza Ahmad Khan, is a back-stage documentary, showing the making of the decidedly tongue-in-cheek superhero adventure, "Malegaon ka Superman." With a small consumer camcorder and an eye for entertainment value, director Shaikh Nasir shoots his feature using locals as actors. The documentary follows Nasir through the ups and downs of the production process in a hardscrabble town.
