Summary: DownloadGet it on iTunes {pb_mediael audio_mp3=[http://d343ypnmzkqpnf.cloudfront.net/filmwax/1263-filmwax.mp3] } FIlmmaker Caveh Zahedi (I AM A SEX ADDICT, IN THE BATHTUB OF THE WORLD) comes back after a 7 year absense with his most entertaining and controversial film yet, THE SHEIK AND I. Commissioned by a Middle Eastern Biennial to make a film on the theme of "art as a subversive act," independent filmmaker Caveh Zahedi (I AM A SEX ADDICT) goes overboard. Told that he can do whatever he wants except make fun of the Sheik, who rules the country and finances the Biennial, Zahedi decides to do just that. He turns his camera on the Biennial itself and gleefully presses every culturally sensitive button he can find. But his court jester antics fails to amuse. Zahedi's film is banned for blasphemy and he is threatened with a fatwa. Stream or download the movie on Fandor, iTunes and other digital outlets beginning on December 7, 2012. New Yorkers can see it at Videologyin Williamsburg.
