Pasolini’s African Safari - No Trophies, Just Food For Thought
Pier Paolo Pasolini thought for many years about an African setting of the Greek tragedy trilogy The Oresteia and he finally set out to Africa in 1970, to photograph faces, get cultural ideas, and to scout locations. When he returned to Rome, he put together a documentary, narrated it and showed it to a focus group of African students. Appunti per un’Orestiade Africana, is a synthesis of the original documentary and the focus group comments, as well as footage of a strange jazz session with Gato Barbieri. The resulting clash of cultures is a jumble of fascinating images, breakdowns in communication and very weird music. Truly a unique curiosity and a great addition to the Pasolini oeuvre.
