| 11 May 2019 Flame by Ingrid Sinclair Zimbabwe/ France 1996, 90 Min., Color, 4:3, Orignal filmed in 35 mm, screened from DVD, English version subtitled in German One of the first critical feature films about the liberation war in Zimbabwe that ended in 1980 with the Declaration of Independence and the fall of Ian Smith's Rhodesian government. Two young women, who have left their homes 15 years earlier to fight in the liberation struggle, meet by chance at Heroes' Day in Harare. In retrospect, the cruelty of the bush war, the violence of the fighting, deprivation during escape to neighbouring Mozambique and the sexism of male comrades are described from the perspective of the present day in which unemployment is still a reality, and where the end of apartheid is not synonymous with the end of the oppression of women. Ingrid Sinclair was born in 1948 in the UK. She studied Medicine and English Literature in England and Film Production in South Africa. She moved to Zimbabwe in 1988 and left again in 2003. Currently she lives in Bristol. 14 June 2019 Short films from Zimbabwe including films by Toni Crabb, Heeten Bhagat Thomas Muziyirwa and others. |
