    • Synopsis
    • Lost in a ciné-trance, adrift in the ghost worlds of personal, apartheid and colonial archives, a filmmaker (the girl) explores her relationship with the camera (the gun).
      A Girl and a Gun stitches her dreamlike observations of a world either dying or being born depending on who’s looking, with the camera’s role in making and unmaking the historically colonized world. It’s a song… a fragmented, furious and funny rebel song.
