The idea
Tell the story of a sporting event through its participants. The Friendship Games have a human scale: a shared playing field, movement, anticipation and an encounter with an opponent.
02
The approach
Action and atmosphere belong together in this kind of story. Wider views establish the setting, while attention to participants reveals individual experience. Sport becomes a shared language that needs little introduction.
03
The experience
The finished film introduces the Friendship Games in Bujumbura. It is an example of event filmmaking concerned with the atmosphere of an encounter as well as its programme and chronology.
