The Best is still to come… is a film of subtle feelings, emotions, daily joys of people as recorded in the voices, faces and small everyday activities of people we have met, or stayed with, or observed; opposed to the spectacular, entertaining, sensational, dramatic activities, which dominate much of contemporary filmmaking. Our film is not conceived as a documentary film however it follows a tradition established by modern film poets like us. I am interested in intensifying the fleeting moments of reality by a personal way of filming and structuring the material. A lot of importance is being given to colour, movement, rhythm and structure – all very essential to the subject matter I am pursuing. That is what we are working on at the moment. The Best is still to come… wants to be a monument to the bonds of Rwandan families and friends. It harvests memories, quivers with the tensions between past and present, and occasionally captures glimpses of utter beauty. The Best is still to come… coming to you in 2014.
