London born, to a Libyan father and a Capetonian mother, Khalid Shamis S.A.G.E studied film language in London and rose the ranks as a promo director in the satellite television realm, blasting ‘made-for-TV’, pop content from the West into the Arab world, winning a PROMAX Europe in 2001. Wishing to fulfil a dream to explore the life and legacy of his maternal grandfather, he moved to Cape Town in the mid 2000s. The documentary, Imam and I (2011) won a SAFTA, the audience award at the Encounters International Documentary Film Festival and became a document on the histories of the Muslim community in South Africa. His second feature doc, The Colonel’s Stray Dogs (2021), premiered at Hot Docs in April 2021

Jacques de Villiers has edited both fiction and documentary films and doesn't see that much difference between the two.
