The young Thai artist and filmmaker Jakrawal Nilthamrong wanted to make a mixture of documentary and fiction for the Forget Africa programme, but he also wrote a plan for the documentary part. He approached three young Zambian directors and asked all three to make a plan for a short film. After auditions in Zambia, Nilthamrong chose one of the projects. The director on the spot was to be Watson Mututa, who proposed a story about a father who calls in the help of a man who dances with spirits for his dying son. After a ritual, the dancer says that the boy has to be taken to a huge waterfall. Then he will be able to survive in a different form. Nilthamrong presents his unusual approach in an equally unusual and complex form. And in often overwhelming images. Gertjan Zuilhof
