MovieDocumentaryTV Movie
In their vehicle, Laurie, Kristy and Linda live alone on the American roads. Like thousands of modern American nomads who can no longer afford to pay for their housing. With no money to spare, these three sixty-year old women are fleeing, in their own way, a part of their history that has left a deep mark on them. Driving away, they try to regain some form of peace. But as the miles and seasons pass, despite their impressive temerity and resilience, their quest for a better future is challenged by unexpected events that hit a country in crisis. Will they nevertheless manage, at the end of the road, to find the serenity they are looking for, in order to become someone again?

Tchissète, The Mirror of the Tuareg
2004
MovieDocumentary
In his first feature-length documentary, filmmaker Sébastien Wielemans heads into the Sahel Desert in Niger and immerses himself in the world of the Tuareg, a traditional nomadic people. Wielemans does not travel along with the different tribes, but focuses his inquisitive camera on a small store in the desert. On a micro level, this meeting place constitutes a socio-economic gauge of the Tuareg's living conditions and manners. At the same time, it is the reflection of some tribesmen's underlying desire to abandon their wandering existence. Owing to a combination of stills that momentarily freeze a couple of tribesman and loosely shot images of meetings, anticipated or not, Tchissète, le miroir Tuareg transcends the common ethnographic documentary. With philosophical reflections on the influence of his camera lens on both subjects and filmmakers, the young director explores the cinematic language.
