Campfire (2000)


Biography, movie review and DVD's.


 


Campfire is a collection of four short films by Belgian director Bavo Defurne.

These films examine love and loss and bear witness to my headily romantic aesthetic. I'm fascinated with the power of nature and silence and enjoy telling visual stories about characters whose strong choices in life challenge society.

When the 18 year-old Tijl is forced to choose between his girlfriend Ineke and his best friend Wout, their camping trip turns into an exciting journey of self-discovery in Kampvuur (Campfire)

Friendship, untainted by cynicism, in Matroos (Sailor). A teenager dreams about the exotic countries, starry skies and the homesickness that would bring his sailor friend back to him. Kampvuur by Bavo Defurne Saint by Bavo Defurne Particularly now,in Spring a film by Bavo Defurne

Saint portrays the martyrdom of St Sebastian. "The build-up to the first arrow being fired grips with agonizing tension, and a brilliantly timed false-start delivers a coup de cinéma worthy of Hitchcock." (Robin Baker)

Capturing the moment when a seventeen year-old boy is about to leave the safety of childhood behind him, Particularly now, in Spring shows teenagers as they compete in athletics like characters from Leni Riefenstal's 'Olympia'.
