1
00:00:11,277 --> 00:00:12,679
How are you ?

2
00:00:12,645 --> 00:00:13,947
I'm fine.

3
00:00:27,127 --> 00:00:29,529
How are you ?

4
00:00:35,402 --> 00:00:37,137
Is it ok ?

5
00:01:07,667 --> 00:01:08,802
I can film.

6
00:01:08,802 --> 00:01:10,503
Can I film you ?

7
00:01:45,905 --> 00:01:50,009
So. You are asking me...

8
00:01:50,310 --> 00:01:55,548
what should the Canadian
expect from us ?

9
00:01:56,216 --> 00:02:01,488
Well, in fact... I think...

10
00:02:01,855 --> 00:02:07,527
that Chad has nothing surprising
 for a Canadian.

11
00:02:14,467 --> 00:02:20,140
Because, from his large villa in Canada,

12
00:02:21,207 --> 00:02:24,444
he has already learned that Chad
is a poor country,

13
00:02:25,011 --> 00:02:28,081
amongst the world's most ressourceless.

14
00:02:31,351 --> 00:02:34,521
Ah ! How are you ? What's the matter ?

15
00:02:38,625 --> 00:02:42,762
So, when he comes here, 
it might be by pure curiosity, 

16
00:02:42,962 --> 00:02:45,365
to see how the poor 
and the black people live.

17
00:02:54,307 --> 00:02:58,578
When I hear that a white person
from a developped country

18
00:02:58,778 --> 00:03:00,346
is coming around here...

19
00:03:00,647 --> 00:03:02,415
Well, I think to myself,

20
00:03:02,415 --> 00:03:04,117
he is coming here 
to see how we live.

21
00:03:16,629 --> 00:03:18,464
You answer too !

22
00:03:18,464 --> 00:03:19,933
I point the camcorder on you.

23
00:03:19,933 --> 00:03:21,201
Ah. I'll go there.

24
00:03:21,201 --> 00:03:23,636
Ok.

25
00:03:43,323 --> 00:03:46,559
If I ask you the same question...

26
00:03:46,559 --> 00:03:50,263
what do you expect

27
00:03:50,563 --> 00:03:53,633
from the chadian youth ?

28
00:04:01,007 --> 00:04:05,411
I believe that... on the contrary,

29
00:04:05,378 --> 00:04:08,514
I think that there is a lot
for me to discover.

30
00:04:16,389 --> 00:04:18,491
Maybe, from there, from Canada,

31
00:04:18,491 --> 00:04:22,695
I have some knowledge...
I have an image of Africa.

32
00:04:31,604 --> 00:04:34,407
But... 
if this is all I know about Africa,

33
00:04:34,407 --> 00:04:35,742
it isn't very much.

34
00:04:37,010 --> 00:04:38,444
How is that ? 

35
00:04:38,444 --> 00:04:42,415
You come with your sister
then you let her go. 

36
00:04:42,515 --> 00:04:44,284
You two, you are accomplices,

37
00:04:44,284 --> 00:04:46,953
I want my sister back right now
so we can go home.

38
00:04:47,220 --> 00:04:49,522
I came with a camcorder 
and a photo camera.

39
00:04:49,522 --> 00:04:56,496
I have an objective after all.
I want to make films here.

40
00:04:56,562 --> 00:04:59,499
If I didn't want to make films,
I would have left this at home.

41
00:04:59,599 --> 00:05:02,302
My life here would have been simpler
without carrying all of this.

42
00:05:03,836 --> 00:05:05,071
She is not here.

43
00:05:05,138 --> 00:05:07,106
She is here ! 
Our girl is here.

44
00:05:07,206 --> 00:05:10,677
No, she is not here.
What do you want now ?

45
00:05:11,377 --> 00:05:13,846
Regarding that,
what can the Chadians give me ? 

46
00:05:13,846 --> 00:05:15,214
What can they do for me ?

47
00:05:16,316 --> 00:05:21,454
I think it is
to create the conditions...

48
00:05:21,454 --> 00:05:23,923
to make good films, together.

49
00:05:25,625 --> 00:05:26,659
Cut !

50
00:05:52,185 --> 00:05:54,354
Then, he starts yelling...

51
00:05:54,954 --> 00:05:57,023
I think that... Julien !

52
00:05:57,056 --> 00:05:58,991
I hope you know how to
abduct women...

53
00:05:58,991 --> 00:05:59,826
There you go.

54
00:06:10,403 --> 00:06:12,839
Action !
Come on, say it.

55
00:06:23,583 --> 00:06:24,384
Is it ok ?

56
00:06:24,550 --> 00:06:28,721
The boy has already told his
parents about this girl...

57
00:06:28,721 --> 00:06:32,258
So they might be ready
with the marriage portion.

58
00:06:32,692 --> 00:06:35,194
I don't understand.
What does this girl want ?

59
00:06:35,928 --> 00:06:40,133
Now, I can't even embrace her.

60
00:06:40,533 --> 00:06:42,235
What does she need ?

61
00:06:42,235 --> 00:06:45,204
I might have to use a traditionnal way.

62
00:06:45,538 --> 00:06:47,440
I tried, but it didn't work.

63
00:06:48,107 --> 00:06:50,176
I'll go ask my friends.

64
00:06:50,410 --> 00:06:51,878
Ok, here is the problem ?

65
00:06:51,878 --> 00:06:56,115
As I told you before,
I decided to get married.

66
00:06:56,916 --> 00:07:00,553
I chose Viviane,
from a town nearby.

67
00:07:00,620 --> 00:07:02,321
I chose her a month ago.

68
00:07:02,922 --> 00:07:04,724
But when I go see her,
she doesn't talk to me,

69
00:07:04,724 --> 00:07:07,160
I talk,
but she doesn't let me enter.

70
00:07:07,226 --> 00:07:10,997
It's been a month now 
that she doesn't want me anymore.

71
00:07:11,531 --> 00:07:12,432
I don't believe it.

72
00:07:12,532 --> 00:07:13,833
I don't know what I should do now.

73
00:07:22,875 --> 00:07:26,746
I decided to come and ask you,
 my friends, to help me abduct her.

74
00:07:27,547 --> 00:07:28,881
We can do it.

75
00:07:29,749 --> 00:07:31,150
What a good idea !

76
00:07:31,984 --> 00:07:34,787
Yes, I tell you, brother,

77
00:07:34,787 --> 00:07:36,989
people use to do this here
and we'll do it too.

78
00:07:36,989 --> 00:07:39,859
Here, we abduct her and it's over !

79
00:07:39,859 --> 00:07:41,594
When a girl acts like that,

80
00:07:41,594 --> 00:07:43,729
you have to abduct her
and beat her well !

81
00:07:43,729 --> 00:07:44,363
That's how it goes.

82
00:07:45,531 --> 00:07:47,900
The boys are prepared to abduct a girl.

83
00:07:47,900 --> 00:07:50,236
They will capture this one.

84
00:07:50,236 --> 00:07:54,040
Then the two other girls
will run back...

85
00:08:04,917 --> 00:08:07,520
... to the village and tell her mother:

86
00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:10,223
"Your daughter has been
captured by the boys."

87
00:08:10,223 --> 00:08:12,925
That's what they should do.

88
00:08:14,660 --> 00:08:19,832
[Translation in Lele language]

89
00:08:41,354 --> 00:08:43,089
Hello ! How are you ?

90
00:08:43,122 --> 00:08:45,558
What ? Leave me alone.

91
00:08:45,591 --> 00:08:47,660
Hey. No, we have
something to tell you.

92
00:09:04,977 --> 00:09:08,714
Ok. We need four people
acting as the girl's parents.

93
00:09:27,500 --> 00:09:31,103
Please, the girl's parents,
when you come here, you...

94
00:09:32,605 --> 00:09:34,340
Moïse, cut !

95
00:09:47,653 --> 00:09:51,190
...go see the boy's parents.
You go see them and ask

96
00:09:51,190 --> 00:09:54,026
"Give us our girl back,
give her back!"

97
00:09:54,026 --> 00:09:56,862
Then they will come
out to calm you down.

98
00:09:57,730 --> 00:09:59,632
I am the father.

99
00:10:01,067 --> 00:10:02,168
He is her father.

100
00:10:05,237 --> 00:10:06,872
We already added 600 000,

101
00:10:06,872 --> 00:10:08,507
which makes it 1 445 000.

102
00:10:12,979 --> 00:10:15,915
Count it, count it.

103
00:10:28,427 --> 00:10:29,161
All right ? Satisfied ?

104
00:10:29,161 --> 00:10:30,563
I answered your question ?

105
00:10:30,563 --> 00:10:31,731
You answered well.

106
00:10:31,731 --> 00:10:33,299
Oh, thank you.

107
00:10:33,666 --> 00:10:37,937
I will take a picture, to round it up.

108
00:10:40,206 --> 00:10:42,808
With a good mug of Nescafé.

109
00:10:42,808 --> 00:10:45,344
People will say:
"This one lives well".

110
00:10:47,313 --> 00:10:50,516
He drinks his Nescafé
in a Nescafé mug...

111
00:10:50,516 --> 00:10:52,351
Is that it ?

112
00:10:52,351 --> 00:10:55,154
Uh-huh. Are you ready ?

113
00:17:29,515 --> 00:17:31,917
What are you doing there ?

114
00:17:35,387 --> 00:17:38,724
Me, my name is Kevin.
And you, who are you ?

115
00:17:38,724 --> 00:17:39,992
I don't know your name.

116
00:17:41,226 --> 00:17:43,562
Me ? My name is Moïse.

117
00:17:43,562 --> 00:17:45,931
I am an anthropology student.

118
00:17:47,132 --> 00:17:49,134
I came here to film people.

119
00:17:49,735 --> 00:17:51,937
Now, I am filming you.

120
00:17:51,937 --> 00:17:54,339
But you don't see me.

121
00:17:54,339 --> 00:17:57,676
You are staring at your own image,

122
00:17:57,676 --> 00:18:01,013
reflected by the flip-out
camcorder screen.

123
00:18:01,013 --> 00:18:04,249
You play with me
as you play with this bird,

124
00:18:04,249 --> 00:18:06,418
as I play with you.

125
00:18:07,519 --> 00:18:10,122
Our relationship is lived
through a camera lens.

126
00:18:11,156 --> 00:18:13,258
You are aware of being filmed.

127
00:18:13,258 --> 00:18:17,162
You accept this situation
and use it as a distraction.

128
00:18:18,230 --> 00:18:21,433
A few hours ago,
I didn't know you.

129
00:18:21,433 --> 00:18:25,437
In a few days,
I won't see you again.

130
00:18:25,838 --> 00:18:28,874
I will look back
at your recorded image.

131
00:18:29,374 --> 00:18:31,577
I will show it to other people.

132
00:18:32,244 --> 00:18:33,912
Are you aware of that ?

133
00:18:34,813 --> 00:18:36,648
Hey, hey.

134
00:18:36,648 --> 00:18:40,686
My name is Laruwe Diego.

135
00:18:42,387 --> 00:18:47,559
You are the first of three parties
involved in the cinematographic act.

136
00:18:48,260 --> 00:18:51,830
You are actors,
aware of the gaze fixed upon you.

137
00:18:53,132 --> 00:18:56,735
How you interpret this gaze
is unknown to me.

138
00:18:56,902 --> 00:18:58,737
I also play a role.

139
00:18:59,338 --> 00:19:02,641
From my participant-observer
perspective,

140
00:19:02,641 --> 00:19:06,145
I interpret a reality which
I only partially understand.

141
00:19:06,445 --> 00:19:10,449
I select, I cut, I edit. 

142
00:19:10,616 --> 00:19:12,551
I show.

143
00:19:13,485 --> 00:19:14,820
They play a role too,

144
00:19:14,820 --> 00:19:16,989
as the third party
involved in this process.

145
00:19:17,422 --> 00:19:21,326
They observe you,
from a dark screening room.

146
00:19:21,894 --> 00:19:25,330
Spectators,
they reinterpret your image.

147
00:19:26,365 --> 00:19:29,768
We are the three parties of a relationship
mediated by the camera.

148
00:19:30,068 --> 00:19:35,908
Each one creates its own meaning
from this relationship.

149
00:19:40,179 --> 00:19:42,714
Me ? My name is Moïse.

150
00:19:43,115 --> 00:19:44,816
And you, who are you ?

151
00:19:45,050 --> 00:19:47,252
I don't know your name.
