Short DOC NYC 2023 reviews: AL DJANAT - THE ORIGINAL PARADISE, FAMOUDOU KONATE - THE KING OF DJEMBE and HAPPY CAMPERS


AL DJANAT - THE ORIGINAL PARADISE
Director Chloé Aïcha Boro returns to her homeland, Burkina Faso to record what happens in the wake of the death of an uncle. The resulting film is an interesting look at a society that most of us are not aware of. 

 

FAMOUDOU KONATE - THE KING OF DJEMBE
A look at the djembe drum through one of the greatest players in the world. This is a solid film for lover of rhythms that make you move.


HAPPY CAMPERS
Chincoteaguein Viginia was a place that campers went to every year to hang out with friends. The friends became family and the the time down by the sea was the place everyone one felt best. However time and tide happen and the land was sold and the campers of the title have one last summer to enjoy the place they felt most at home.

Bittersweet tale of great people spending the last days with their defacto family. It’s a good time with good people.
