Independents' Film Festival Cinematic Realism
IFFs Cinematic Realism night presents films that transform the realities of catastrophe into beauty including Basket Boy, Flowers of Rwanda and The Church on Dauphine Street.
Basket Boy, directed by Nzitonda Pacifique (Africa)
This film is a Southern US premiere and was created by a first-time filmmaker and a first-time writer who were two of the 36 students that took part in the media development project called the Burundi Film Center. The BFC is a unique opportunity for Burundian citizens to learn essential 21st century mass communication skills from international filmmakers and documentarians, while engaging those same media experts in African issues. Basket Boy (Kivumvu) searches for the origins of his often-mocked name.
Flowers of Rwanda, directed by David Munoz (Spain)
Munoz begs the question---Who should act when genocide happens? Is it our responsibility as individuals to take action? in this Southern US premiere.
The Church on Dauphine Street, co-directors Rustin Thompson & Ann Hedreen (WA)
Seattle filmmakers, Thompson and Hedreen got the opportunity to travel with a group of volunteers to New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina to document the rebuilding of a church. They made six trips in all to create what they call "cinematic journalism," a type of documentary filmmaking that combines factual objectivity and personal commentary with a poetic, impressionistic structure. Their impressions are startling and haunting leaving the viewer to question if the government lets you down who do you have but each other?
