Why Colonel Bunny Was Killed
Miranda Pennell, 2010, UK, video, 28'
An exploration of turn of the century colonial life along the Durand Line, the frontier between Afghanistan and British India (now Pakistan). Triggered by the memoirs of P.L. Pennell, a medical missionary, the film is constructed from still photographs. Sound and image are played against each other in a search for the stories behind the images, generating parallels wiith contemporary portrayals of a distant place and people.
