Faraway Paradise

About This Movie

Faraway Paradise offers a contemplative journey through the lens of animals in Africa, using decades of footage. There's a raw, unfiltered quality to the visuals, as if you're peering into a hidden world. The pacing is meditative, allowing space for reflection on the interconnectedness of life. Hani, although not always in front of the camera, invites us to ponder heavy themes like existence and freedom, often seen through the eyes of the wild. The atmosphere is palpable; you can almost hear the whispers of the savannah. It's distinct in how it forgoes traditional narration, relying on the natural sounds and rhythms of life to tell its story, which feels incredibly immersive.
