Shooting with Mursi
A rare, insightful glimpse of Africa’s most isolated tribes, the Mursi, through the eyes of a member who fears for its survival amidst cultural upheaval. SCREENING WITH LEZARE (aka FOR TODAY, Zelalem Woldemariam Ezare, 2010, Ethiopia; 14m) A beautifully shot short story about a homeless boy in an Ethiopian village.
This unique film tells the story of one of Africa’s most isolated tribes—the Mursi—through the eyes of one its members, Olisarali Olibui, who carries in one hand a Kalashnikov and in the other, a camera. An Ethiopian pastoralist tribe, the Mursi are beset by potential threats from other tribes, national park proposals, and the arrival of a new road bringing tourists. The film provides a compelling and at times disturbing insight into everyday life of a people whose culture, in the words of Olisarali, faces extinction. Co-presented with Margaret Mead Film & Video Festival
