Not Like Other Tree

Special Mention, Preventive Peace Award

by Lindi Dedek, Germany, 15 min. – In competition, national premiere

In the hands of Makonde artists, rare ebony comes to life. Between spiritual tradition and Christian influence, between museum and tourist souvenir, this documentary explores the boundaries of African art and its double standards. Makonde art is more than an object: it is a story, a culture, a soul waiting to be discovered.
