Shadow Tree (2014)
An African dilemma? But not only
17 June 2014 - 1 out of 1 users found this review helpful.
This short film was one of the entries at the Green Festival in Seoul Korea,in a category called Mother Earth. Shadow Tree's story is economical and to the point. It deals with the simple, but at the same time, very complex environmental theme of water, particularly complex as it is set in Africa, and Zanzibar to be precise. The main character is a Tanzanian boy faced with the dilemma of trying to keep his fish alive which then leads to some problem-solving that might be beyond him. Although there is little dialogue, and that is in Swahili (with English subtitles), the story is nonetheless clearly rendered. Some particularly enjoyable aspects were the striking setting and uncluttered expert photography.
