Naked Spaces - Living is Round, Trinh T. Minh-ha, USA, 1985, 135', 16mm
Naked Spaces - Living is Round is the second feature film by Trinh T. Minh and explores the rhythms of life in the rural villages of six West African countries: Mauritania, Mali, Burkina Faso, Togo Benin and Senegal. A poetic, subjective documentary, a lyrical meditation and an anti-anthropological reflection which detaches itself from the passionless voices of most ethnographic films. The narration provided by culture and authority is replaced here by the voices of three women, each with her own unique approach to documenting reality.
