The genocide in Rwanda resulted in the deaths of over a million people within 100 days while the international community watched and did nothing. How many times have we said, ” Never again”! Did it leave a stain on the world’s conscience? Death was not the only outcome.Tens of thousands of people had been tortured, mutilated and raped. Tens of thousands suffered machete cuts, bullet wounds, infection and starvation.
The persecution of Tutsis and Hutu moderates which started in 1990 and waves of massacres acted as a precursor to the genocide. The persecution, though barely recognised by the outside world, was an early indication of what was to come. Genocide was instant! The perpetrators had promised an apocalypse and the operation which emerged was a devastating frenzy of violence, bloodshed and merciless killing. No Tutsi was exempt. There were thousands of widows Many had been victims of rape and sexual abuse or had seen their own children murdered.
I went back three years later and visited some villages where NGOs were doing some great work. I met a few women who had been victims of terrible violence. Laurence, a frail looking woman scarred for life, led me to her place. As I walked into the sparsely furnished room, a cracked mirror on the wall caught my attention. As if reading my mind, she said in Kirundi……” Looking everyday at my face reminds me that I am still alive and I have one more day with my son”. I glanced, through the small window, at the little boy playing in the mud with his friends unaware of the unfolding tragedy. As I was leaving Laurence caught my hand and when I turned our eyes locked. I understood. Less than a year after meeting her, I got news that Laurence had passed on. I had a promise to fulfill.
Il est 5:30 du matin à l’île Poovar petit morceau de terre perdu au milieu de la mer et les rivières de kovalam à kerala… je suis assise sur mon tapis de yoga et je laisse la douce brise du matin me bercer tant la nuit à été chaude… et j’écoute je ne fais rien d’ autre , j’écoute. les yeux fermés, j’ecoute le silence… le silence de l’immensité… le silence de la mer! J’écoute la rivière qui me murmure ses secrets, ses songes, elle me raconte ses matins avant le levé du soleil … j’ecoute et plus Loin le chant de l’azaan , la voix cristaline du muezzin m offre un doux mélange avec cette autre voix, cette vibration vocale venue d’une âme pleine de dévotion. Cette voix féminine chante les louanges de la nature, les mantras Hindus et l’apel à la prière des musulmans rythmes par le cris des grillons, des crapaux et des oiseaux me bercent, m’enivrent…. ahhhh soudain des profondeurs de la terre se dégage tout doucement une autre vibration à peine perceptible Encore des chants, des sons des vibrations…tout invite au silence en moi… tout invite au calme, à la serenite.. à la réflection…
Ceara Allardyce is focused on telling stories through the visual art of cinematography. With a number of international and local short and feature film productions under her belt, Ceara has most recently been concentrating on filming one-to-one interviews, working alongside a well-known media trainer. Her creative and meticulous choices, pre- and post-filming, result in providing a client with the aesthetics they require while also prompting the expected emotional responses from an audience. Her attention to detail is highlighted by the use of lenses, filters, lighting techniques and camera movements to create the appropriate dramatic effect.
In her final year of achieving her BA in Cinematography from internationally-recognised South African film school AFDA, the short film on which Ceara worked, Just Roomates, was selected for screening at South Africa’s premier film festival Silwerskermfees.
