Room 11, Ethiopia Hotel
Itsushi Kawase
2007
23 minutes
This film aims to capture a sense of the life of children living on the street in Gondar by witnessing the interaction between two children and the film-maker.
Although it is about the childrens' life on the streets, the entire film was shot in the film-maker's room in the Ethiopia Hotel. This limited space allows the film to focus on communication between subjects and film-maker and to reveal some of the ideas that enable them to endure and survive on the streets
This film is more a sensitive testimony than a scientific documentary. Through its hybrid approach, the film-maker aims to explore new trends in visual anthropology touching upon intimacy and subjectivity.
