Shadow Film Festival, founded in 2000, screens documentary films as
an independent fringe festival during the annual Amsterdam
documentary festival (IDFA). The Shadow Festival highlights unusual
documentaries that cause questions to arise, rather than films on
relevant issues or politically correct subjects. The filmmakerŐs
signature is spotlighted, whether it be through form, the manner in
which the story is told, or in the curious relationship a cineaste
has to his or her subject.

Stefan Majakowski / Shadow Film Festival presents:



Break the Silence.................... Paul Riniker (CH, 2003, 15min)


More than 6000 Swiss citizens from the country's four language areas
were asked to speak their mind for one minute. This compilation of
fourteen responses touches upon something typically European: a
vociferous mix of moralism, tragedy, despair and humour. The project
was initiated by Swisscom.




Eux et Moi (Them and Me).......... Stephane Breton (FR 2001, 63 min)


The filmmaker/ethnologist Breton observes the Wodani people in the
mountains of Irian Jaya, New Guinea. The frustrations of the
ethnologist and the speculations surrounding his project are the
theme of the film. This is not a documentary on an exotic society
but on the exoticism of the man who watches and, perhaps, on the art
of exchanging looks. The film aims to reverse the traditional
ethnographic approach and wants to show how the native tribe views
the person studying it. The film is constructed from scenes which 
other travel and adventure films have left on the cutting room floor.
