Pull and I shall pull
Tanzanian filmmaker Amil Shivji’s feature, Vuta N’Kuvute (Tug of War), has been described as, and certainly is, a visually stunning story of romance in Zanzibar under later-day British colonial oppression in the 1950s. Notwithstanding the gorgeous love story between Yasmin and Denge, two young Zanzibari in the midst of their own struggles for freedom, the film is also an African feminist re-telling of a tale of liberation and comradeship at the dawn of decolonization—if we locate the meaning of that term in those very practices of refusal that constitute political change long before it is officially termed that. The film is based on an adaptation of Adam Shafi Adam’s well-known 1999 novel by the same name.
There are many ways in which Shivji’s film follows a feminist agenda. The empathetic and empowered portraits of Yasmin and Mwajuma—the film’s two women protagonists—are themselves proof of that. But it is also Shivji’s translation of their characters into the present moment. Yasmin (played by Ikhlas Gafur Vora), for example, unlike in the book, only suffers through one, not four, arranged marriages—the one she flees in order to stand side-by-side in the fight for liberation with Denge (Gudrun Columbus Mwanyika). And Mwajuma (Siti Amina) offers a hav

Albinos don’t die, they just disappear
Shot like a documentary that moves between realism and surrealism this outstanding black magic thriller is based on a true story. „White Shadow“ was shown at several international film festivals (2014 in Sundance, San Fransisco, London EEFF, Cluij) and in 2013 director Noaz Deshe won the Luigi De Laurentiis Lion Of The Future Award in the Venice Film Festival for it.
In this FairPlanet interview, film critic Marc Hairapetian talks with Noaz Deshe about corruption, human rights and filmmaking.
FairPlanet: How did you come to the subject of Albino hunting in East Africa?
Noaz Deshe: „White Shadow“ is not entirely about the prosecution of albinos. It is mainly a story devoted to the experience of a character within that construct – Alias, a 14-year- old boy who is an Albino with all his problems, difficulties and mostly the feeling of being hunted. The subject or the whole story could be centuries old, the persecution of the "Other" fuelled by local spiritual leaders with invented narratives of super natural powers is an old tale. Yet in the East, South and West Africa today albinos are still being hunted, mainly far away from the main cities, in the rural areas. There have been about 131 recent killings and hundreds more attacks that
