Ali Shifau is one of the most popular and richest Director who was born on May 19, 1977 in Malé, Maldives.
Ali Shifau collaborated with Moomin Fuad to direct the critically appreciated crime film Heylaa (2006) featuring a cast of Ismail Rasheed, Ahmed Mauroof, Zeenath Abbas, Lufshan Shakeeb and Abdulla Muaz. The film narrates the story of a fourteen year old ambitious boy who finds himself unknowingly being involved in the smuggling of a revolver. Apart from directing the film, Shifau worked as the editor and cinematographer, marking it as the first Maldivian film to be shot in high-definition digital video. Though the film received positive reviews from critics, it was a commercial failure. Shifau opined that its commercial status was a result of casting “not very prominent” faces in the film and the “film-goers were not ready to accept the genre” at the time of its release. Ahmed Nadheem from Haveeru praised the narration and direction; “The film is embroiled in a realistic story which has sensible characters who are emotive under the helm of two great leaders serving as directors”. At the 5th Gaumee Film Awards ceremony, Shifau won Best Cinematography and Best Art Direction award.
Three year later, the duo reunited for a suspense thriller Happy Birthday (2009) which narrates the story of a simple man who receives a call on his birthday informing him that his wife and son have been kidnapped, only to be returned for a ransom. The film was a commercial failure, despite the positive response from the critics. Winning five Gaumee Film Awards and twelve Maldives Film Awards, the film was also screened at the Venice Film Festival. The film earned him several accolades including his first Gaumee Film Award for Best Editing.
