Window on Africa
, ,
Three delightful and insightful documentaries about women and children from Ethiopia, Uganda and Zambia.
Unearthing The Pen, 12′, by Carol Salter (who used to be based in Chapter and will introduce the film) is the beautifully made, award-winning story of a Ugandan shepherd boy who wants to go to school but can’t as his ancestors put a curse on the pen.
Framing The Other, 25′, about a tourist whose comfortable ideas about taking photos of exotic tribal people in Ethiopia are shaken by her encounter with a Mursi woman. This will be introduced by Tracy Pallant who edited it.
Where The Water Meets The Sky, 60′, is about a group of Zambian women, some of whom have never seen a camera before, making a film about their lives. In particular the ‘typical’ story of one of them who was an AIDS orphan, turned to prostitution at 14, but is now happily back in school.
With Carol Salter director of Unearthing The Pen, introducing her film.
