Blue Black Permanent

Two Years at Sea

Town of Runners
Date	Location
A pretty and thoughtful documentary about the tiny town of Bekoji in Ethiopia, which has produced an astonishing number of champion long-distance runners. Frustratingly, it hedges its bets as to whether it’s about Africa’s situation or just the hard knocks dealt by a sporting life, but what's singularly impressive is the interview footage with the young trainee runners, which achieves intimacy without condescension, and captures both heartrending hopefulness and sad self-delusion.

Curious, compelling and compassionate, Denis Côté’s contemplative portrait of animals in captivity is, put simply, a series of beautifully framed and composed tableaux of a variety of animals at Quebec’s Parc Safari; but it’s also a complex meditation on the relationship between man, beast and environment.
