■Hans Silvester , otra vez.
Este vídeo se lo dedico a Hans Silvester fotógrafo alemán autor de estas extraordinarias fotografías que en el año 2006 terminó un trabajo de varios años sobre el pueblo del valle del Omo, situado entre Etiopía, Kenia y Sudán, un mundo perdido, un lugar que no figura en los mapas. Lejos de cualquier capital, con un clima extremo, se esconde uno de los lugares más salvajes de África en el que viven unas 15 tribus nómadas o seminómadas.
Allí decidió ir, a la cuna de la Humanidad, a aquel lugar donde al parecer se efectuó la separación del hombre y del mono, para conocer a estas tribus que, sin saberlo, son guardianes de nuestro patrimonio común.
Se pintan el cuerpo con arcilla coloreada hasta dos o tres veces al día, como si cambiasen de vestido. Para los más jóvenes es una forma de coquetería, de seducción, de fiesta. Pero también un orgullo. Las escarificaciones, las mutilaciones que se infligen las mujeres mursi para colocarse su plato labial... son signos de elegancia, de belleza, de fortaleza y de valor.

■Tribus del rio Omo en Africa
El arte de las tribus del río Omo, es admirable; con pigmentos naturales, sin más pinceles que las puntas de sus dedos. Pintan su cuerpo con una creatividad que a la pae trata de integrarseen la Naturaleza. Hermoso e intuitivo arte autodidacta, apreciado por los artistas occidentales, comparable a los más vanguardistas pintores de occidente.

■The Nuba
A WalkAbout Production: Although Leni Riefenstahl is often remembered for her Nazi propaganda films, she left us a great pictorial and film record of the Nuba people.
In the 1986 elections, the Umma Party lost several seats to the Nuba Mountains General Union and to the Sudan National Party, due to the reduced level of support from the Nuba Mountains region. There is reason to believe that attacks by the government-supported militia, the Popular Defense Force (P.D.F.), on Nuba villages were meant to be in retaliation for this drop in support, which was seen as signaling increased support of the S.P.L.A. The P.D.F. attacks were particularly violent, and have been cited as examples of crimes against humanity.
■The Magic of the Dinka
South Sudan
The Magic of the Dinka s a short documentary film of approximately 26 minutes.
Amongst the Dinka's, which is the largest tribe in Africa, we find two young people. A young man called Kadi and a girl called Nyankor. Kadi wants to buy Nyankor so she can be his first wife. But marriage in the Dinka world is expensive and complicated. The Dinka's are selling their daughters getting cows as payment. The women in South Sudan are the most expensive in the world. A girl can be sold for over 100 cows, each cow worth over $400, with the Sudanese average income of less than $2 per day. Women are an expensive and cherished commodity. But some Dinka's have over 100 wives. Each wife's has her own house, land and animals spread over a large area, her husband spends his life walking from one wife's homes to another in order to produce as many children, especially as many girls as possible.
For months are bride to be Nyankor's family has been traveling from one cattle camp to another to negotiate the largest number of cows possible. Cows are their valuate, and the more cows one has the higher position a Dinka has in society.
Dinka's are known as being the tallest and most elegant people in the world. They have their own ideas about beauty. Dinka women remove 6 of their front teeth so they can spit as far as possible, and decorate their face and body with scars and the ash from burnt out cowpats.
In this short film we will be looking up at the Dinka culture not down. The Dinka do not have a written language, so history is passed on from generation to generation through story telling. This will be the style of the narration in this short film. We will follow a day in the life in this unique culture.
The strength of this short film is in the use of film and 50% still pictures. We will also use an original film music score, and a poetic narration.
