Requests:  0 Summary:  A sublime work of personal vision, the debut feature by the Mexican Ethiopian filmmaker Jessica Beshir is a hypnotic documentary immersion in the world of Ethiopia's Oromo and Harari communities, places where one commodity khat, a euphoria-inducing plant once prized for its supposedly mystical properties holds sway over the rituals and rhythms of everyday life. As if under the influence of the drug itself, Faya Dayi unfurls as intoxicating, trance state cinema, capturing intimate moments in the existence of everyone from the harvesters of the crop to people lost in its narcotic haze to a desperate but determined younger generation searching for an escape from the region's political strife. The director's exquisite monochrome cinematography each frame a masterpiece sculpted from light and shadow and the film's time-bending, elliptical editing create a ravishing sensory experience that hovers between consciousness and dreaming.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Copy Status   Hawaii State Library DVD -- DVD, Fiction, AV Room DVD INT [OROMO]   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library DVD -- DVD, Fiction DVD Foreign Multicultural 3502 Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library DVD -- DVD, Nonfiction DVD #2482 [Non Fic] Checked In Add Copy to MyList Makawao Public Library DVD -- DVD, Nonfiction DVD NF Multicultural Checked In Add Copy to MyList Pahala P/S Library DVD -- DVD, Nonfiction DVD   Checked In Add Copy to MyList
