Women of the Sand is a documentary about nomad Islamic women in the Sahara desert. Filmed in Mauritania, it follows the day-to-day activities of women, documenting their work, family and community life, expectations and emotions. Women of the Sand was filmed in cinema-verité style, with no narration. The non-intrusive camera allows the women to tell their own stories in a candid and intimate way. The stunning photography captures the immensity of the desert and the giant sand dunes which have already covered ninety per cent of the country and are threatening the very existence of the nomadic lifestyle. Women of the Sand is a tale of women’s resilience and a poignant portrait of a vanishing way of life. Format: DigiBeta, 52 min. Director: Richard Wolf Executive Producer: C. Litewski Mauritania Producer: Lucy Barbosa (Khadijah) Camera: Richard Wolf, Patricia Gomes Distribution Contact: Journeyman Pictures, U.K. (www.journeyman.tv) |
