Hargeisa

FORMAT
Shortfilm, 15 minutes, HDV
2009, Somalia
Director and Cinematographer: Rob Watkins
Postproduction Producer: Rob Watkins
CREATIVE PROCESS
Moving against the demise of pure Documentary, Hargeisa is a look back to Cinéma Vérité, Direct Cinema and the Kino-Pravda movement.
The filmmaker travels alone to Somaliland, to attempt an emotional characterisation of the town of Hargeisa itself. The artistic process reveals the extremely contemporary issues, elucidating a much maligned region and people.
