An acknowledged influence on filmmakers such as Richard Linklater, Greta Gerwig and the Safdie brothers, US documentary filmmaker Caveh Zahedi has spent the last 30+ years documenting his life on camera, sometimes to the detriment of his personal relationships. The Creative Nonfiction Film Weekend is thrilled to be bringing the legendary filmmaker on a UK tour, stopping at Fairfield Social Club on March 13th to present his debut feature and a post-screening Q&A.

I Don't Hate Las Vegas Anymore (1994) is a comedy documentary about a filmmaker who takes a road trip to Las Vegas with his father and half-brother in an attempt to prove the existence of God. He suggests that if God exists, and is indeed omniscient, omnipotent and omnibenevolent, then all the filmmaker has to do is roll the camera and let God direct the movie. But the movie isn't going in the direction he would like, and so he attempts to force God's hand by trying to persuade his father and half-brother to take Ecstasy with him. When they refuse, things quickly start to unravel.
