Eerie Short Film Combines Animation & Live Action To Delve Into The Psyche Of A 9-Year-Old Ugandan Girl

Walk With Me is an imaginative short film from Ugandan multimedia artist Peter Tukai Muhumuza and Danish filmmaker Johan Oettinger that tells the story of a 9-year-old Ugandan girl who dreams of being a dancer. As she tends to the goats on her family's farm, the young girl encounters death for the first time. In a hazy world populated by purple skies and dismembered doll heads, the eerie film uses a combination of live action and stop motion animation to explore childhood, mortality and aging. The twelve-minute film, shot in Uganda and completed in Denmark, was created by Muhumuza and Oettinger as part of the Copenhagen International Documentary Film Festival's DOX:LAB program.
