"This is Not a Burial, It's a Resurrection" is a film from Lesotho, where no film industry exists.
Abstract:
-
Excerpt
In the year of Covid, film-making has largely been put on hold. The closure of cinemas for much of the year, and the decision by Warner Bros to stream it sfilms next year, has helped underline both their importance as a public space and the incomparable experience of collectively watching a film. All this makes a film from a country without a tradition of film-making, or even of film-watching, even more special.
Whether "This Is Not a Burial, It's a Resurrection" makes it on to the Oscar shortlist remains to be seen. But one day, hopefully, Lesothans will be abe to see it in a cinema in their own country.
