2011 > Uganda/USA > Directed by Kimi Takesue
Commissioned to critically explore an African nation, director Kimi Takesue avoids the usual pitfalls of the documentarian's
gaze, revealing the daily lives of Ugandans as well as her subjects' curiosity about her own desire to film them. Its style
fleeting, poetic and impressionistic Where Are You Taking Me? is less cinema verité and more a meditation on "seeing
and being seen," its "lovely transitions, via image and sound, and striking compositions make [the film] an enriching
experience." (Variety) Support for this program provided by Electronic Media & Film Presentation Funds, a program of
NYSCA, administered by the ARTS Council of the Southern Finger Lakes. Subtitled. More at whereareyoutakingme.com
