Diaries from an intrepid filmmaker - Scottish Documentary Blog
http://blog.scottishdocinstitute.com/bijagos1
Diaries from an intrepid filmmaker (1). Posted by Noé Mendelle. March 03, 2014. Day 3 of travelling. It seems that we are reaching Bubaque, one of the main islands in the archipelago of Bijagós, off the West Coast of Africa. Pitch dark over sea and sky. It took flights from Edinburgh to Lisbon to Casablanca to Bissau. And then a boat from Bissau that managed to get lost, break down twice, and now has to move against the current. We have been on it for ten hours and still a long way to go! The Bijagós hav...

Diaries from an intrepid filmmaker (17). Posted by Noé Mendelle. April 01, 2014. The intrepid filmmakers are coming home. When we first got to Bubaque from Bissau, our ferry got lost and took over 12 hours. That did not happen either. It seems that we would have had to confirm the confirmation that had already been confirmed. Confused? We now have many hours of footage to translate. Need to find several native speakers in Bijagó and Creole with fluency in Portuguese. Even in Lisbon these will be ...It wa...

Here she writes about 'The Look of Silence,' the much anticipated follow up to Joshua Oppenheimer's Oscar-nominated feature, 'The Act of Killing.' This time, with an equally compelling and devastating narrative, we hear from the victims instead of the victors of Indonesia's communist massacres in the 1960s. The Look of Silence.
