NENETTE, from internationally acclaimed documentary filmmaker NICHOLAS PHILIBERT, comes to DVD on 23 May and to mark the release we have 3 copies to give away!
Born in the jungles of Borneo over forty years ago, Nénette the orangutan is now the most senior inhabitant of the world’s oldest zoo – and the star of this awe-inspiring, tender and funny film, from the director who charmed the world with the BAFTA nominated Etre et Avoir. What we see is Nénette, going about her daily business; what we hear are the voices of the many visitors who pass comment on her every day, and reveal more about themselves than the object of their gaze. Philibert’s film fascinates as a portrait of an ultimately unknowable celebrity whilst exploring thought-provoking themes of privacy, captivity and the relationship between the observer and the observed.
To be in with a chance of winning, just answer this question: Nenette director Nicholas Philibert came to international attention with which documentary set in a rural French school?
