Shape of a Broken Heart
Andrew Dosunmu, Nigeria/Cuba, 2012, 16min.
Hauntingly beautiful, this video-film was shot for singer Imany’s debut album, Shape Of A Broken Heart. Directed by Andrew Dosunmu (Restless City), with cinematography by Bradford Young, this film leaves audiences enchanted and embraced by timeless music, style, and grace.
Jazz On A Summer’s Day
Bert Stern, USA, 1960, 85min.
In 1958, celebrated photographer Bert Stern was inspired by a
friend to « take some pictures » of the Newport Jazz Festival.
Following a turn of events, Stern decided to produce a full-fledged
motion picture. It would become his only film. By breaking many
cinematic taboos, Stern recreated the look of his still
photography into motion with a dazzling display of rich human
observation and some of the most remarkable scenes of live jazz
ever brought to the screen. When it premiered at the Venice Film
Festival rumors of an American « New Wave » swirled.

Lezare
Zelalem Woldemariam, Ethiopia, 2010, 14min.
Lezare is a revealing and touching story about a homeless boy in
a small village in southern Ethiopia. A beautifully shot film about
global warming and shortsightedness.
Jeans and Martò
Claudia Palazzi and Clio Sozzani, Ethiopia/Italy, 2011, 52min.
Jeans and Martò reveals the complexity of the ‘Ethiopia of the
new millennium’, constricted between modernity and tradition,
pastoralist and urban lifestyle, old and new generations who
struggle to adapt to such a rapid transformation. Roba, who
narrates his story, is a young Ethiopian pastoralist who escapes
his arranged marriage to fulfill a dream. An apparently normal
student, who is willing to reach a balance between his tribe’s
costumes and the dream of becoming an educated man. A life
straddled between tradition and modernity, and a commitment to
discover the good in both.
