Shadow Tree (2014)
short but sweet
17 June 2014
I saw the film in the 2014 Green Film festival in Seoul Korea. It's an interesting work from a director who shoots films in different languages in different countries. The story line is interesting and the setting which is Zanzibar, in Tanzania, is unusual and visually very interesting. Our part of the world doesn't often get to see cinema from Zanzibar so it's refreshing. The theme is handled on a small scale but in an intimate way. The idea of an African boy with nothing trying to find solutions in a place where there aren't many, drew me in to it In a short span of time, this movie deals with some major themes likes how far your faith will take you. It's also a parable about survival. Worth watching.
