Burundi Film Center - Five Short Films

Narrative Short

Director: Christopher Redmond

Run Time: 50 mins

Website: http://www.burundifilmcenter.org

Synopsis:  

The Burundi Film Center presents five short dramatic films with themes of love, AIDS, poverty, triumph, abuse, sacrifice and reconciliation - straight from the heart of Africa. Burundian youth aged 18-25 were taught the basics of film theory and production in the summer of 2007 by international filmmakers through this media development pilot-project with no outside funding or resources. The results are stories both universal to the human condition and unique to the tiny, war ravaged East African nation of Burundi. Experience the first productions from an organization under the simple mandate to 'Inspire. Educate. Entertain.'
