From South Africa comes the family drama THE WOODEN CAMERA. Madiba and Sipho are both adolescents living outside Cape Town. When they stumble across the dead body of a man, Madiba takes the man's videocamera and Sipho his pistol. The items that each seizes seem to dictate their paths: Madiba's curiosity is piqued by his use of the camera, while Sipho's gun gives him a false sense of invulnerability. Like CITY OF GOD and ANGELS WITH DIRTY FACES, THE WOODEN CAMERA is a story of childhood friends set on different paths due to the vicissitudes of fate. The film won the Glass Bear Award (given to the best film for or about children) at the 2004 Berlin Film Festival. |
