DIRECTOR — Ido Haar<br />
LANGUAGE — English, Hebrew (English subtitles)<br />
Presenting Princess Shaw<br />
“Filmmaking of the first order... astounding and thoroughly<br />
inspirational” – Variety<br />
Unique and inspiring, Presenting Princess Shaw chronicles the<br />
unlikely friendship that grows between Israeli Youtube mash-up<br />
artist, Kutiman, and Princess Shaw, a troubled New Orleans<br />
singer. By day, Princess Shaw is Samantha, a hard-working carer<br />
for the elderly in one of New Orlean’s toughest neighbourhoods,<br />
but by night she lets loose with raw and vulnerable confessionals<br />
and acapella performances that reveal a difficult past and fragile<br />
present. When Kutiman chances upon a Princess Shaw video<br />
online, he is impressed by her voice and candid expression and<br />
decides to use her in his next mix. When he publishes the song<br />
online, Princess Shaw’s life changes forever.<br />
Israeli documentarian Ido Haar captures the advent of an<br />
inspiring and unexpected relationship with a memorable homage<br />
to the power of the Internet to connect disparate individuals.<br />
Nominated for Best Documentary at the 2016 Ophir Awards<br />
(Israeli Oscars).<br />
