Experiencing Interruptions?

Desastres

"Xidzedze" means "Disaster" in Xi-Changana.

The term in this dialect refers specifically to "windstorm", but there is no direct translation.

This is my third short film.
In it I exposed my curiosity about natural disasters to a group of people who, as much as I, know little about their influence on their appearance.

The point was not to discover guilt as usual,
but to think with them the origin and the causes through the lived experiences and acquired information.

Me and a team of brave people decided to come together to interpret the ideas of these people and be able to tell a story that made sense
