MZUNGU: Loosely defined as ‘stranger’ in Swahili, is the basis of the film maker’s experience and sentiment as he and a small exploratory team navigated through South Africa, then Rwanda and Uganda, in search of wildlife and adventure in this experimental film travelogue. Utilizing his unique and original approach to digital film making, director Bart Santello envisioned the structure of MZUNGU to mirror stages of sleep and the corresponding imagery that inhabits the dreaming subconscious mind. Working within this framework, the film is crafted to present visual artistic elements discovered in both raw the footage and audio recordings documented in the locations traveled.
