The Null Device

Film Festival: I saw two films today: firstly, Bunny, about two immigrants from a war-torn eastern-European country who arrive in Los Angeles and end up working in a public-works project where they put on pink rabbit suits and listen to tales of woe from desperate people, who come along and pat their pink fur. It was an amusing concept, though the film could have probably made more use of it. Secondly, I saw Little Senegal, a French/Algerian film about a Senegalese man who goes to America to track down a distant cousin, whose ancestors were taken as slaves; in New York, he finds her working as a street vendor, and ends up applying for a job at her kiosk. It was an interesting and well-made film, which looked at the issues of cultural identity and heritage, and had some good photography as well.
