\u00bbMy first video camera 1993. Dirk and I are sitting on a bed filming each other. I say to him: \u203aI\u2019m 27 years old and absolutely whacked but at least I\u2019m going to lift my little brother\u2019s spirits one more time!\u2039 Whatever my intention was then, there\u2019ve since been numerous situations when I have filmed us together. Capturing our life on camera every so often has been both protection and memory. Dirk died and our family broke up \u2013 yet Dirk was my family! We shared a certain closeness, a sense of humour that perhaps can only exist between brother and sister. His heroin addiction was a side phenomenon which we both had to live with, always borne by the belief that one day he might get over it. In the summer of 2010, I began to open some of the boxes with all the cassettes, raw material and short private scenes that I had previously never watched. Everything was brought back to life.\u00ab
\n\u2013 Britta Wandaogo<\/p>\n
\u00bbThe material that Britta Wandaogo had at her disposal consists of hours and hours of recordings which she \u2013 more or less off the cuff \u2013 taped in her brother\u2019s company. Showing him high or asleep, waking up, charming, repeatedly charming, and then really high, incoherent and in despair. Ms Wandaogo sometimes in the picture, being filmed by him, classified as his co-dependent, belittled and loved, exploited and placed on a pedestal. Material that flinches with tension.\u00ab In this documentary film, as in most of her work, Ms Wandaogo radically turns the private sphere inside out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":20984,"template":"","movie_year":[304],"movie_genre":[85],"movie_cat":[361],"festival":[628],"class_list":["post-18850","movie","type-movie","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","movie_year-304","movie_genre-documentary-en","movie_cat-panorama-en-2012","festival-2012-en"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
