Her days are filled with waiting for customers that never show up. Some letters waiting to be collected have been covered with years of dust and cobwebs. A stoic fire lieutenant identifies a frightening similarity between the current dictatorship and his Belgian colonial predecessors: both are blind to the interests of the people. Just look at his firehouse in decay as a proof. Railway official Simon sees his job as an opportunity to rest, spending his days singing nostalgic songs.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cElephant\u2019s Dream\u201d tells the story of three public sector workers who live in the third largest city in Africa, Kinshasa, DR Congo, where the weight of history has not stopped them from pursuing hopes and dreams. Through their eyes we have a poetic and thoughtful insight into a country in transition. Colonialism might be over, but the future has yet to arrive. <br \/> <span style=\"color: #008ac9;\"><a style=\"color: #008ac9;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.elephantsdream-film.com\" target=\"_blank\">www.elephantsdream-film.com<\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<p><iframe src=\"\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/111748022?title=0&amp;amp;byline=0\" width=\"425\" height=\"350\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<div><b>Director info<\/b><\/div>\n<p>Kristof Bilsen (director\/DOP\/producer) completed a filmmaking BA in Brussels (2002).

Yet he has chosen to bring his Scottish wife Moira (60) and their two sons Craig (22) and Pierre (19) to Mali in West Africa on one last family adventure: to start an eco\u00adfriendly goldmine. <br \/> Starting in primitive conditions in a remote mining camp, Claude has acquired a concession of 100 square kilometres with a tiny initial investment of $1m. Learning on the job, he seeks to identify and locate a seam of gold which he is convinced must lie on the land. <br \/> Claude&#8217;s mission is to create an eco\u00adfriendly enterprise where gold is produced without the use of mercury or cyanide, the land is well cared for, and there is a fair deal with the local (technically illegal) mining community. But reality soon intrudes: mistakes, malaria and mishaps lead to delay and soon the money is on the verge of running out as Claude struggles to protect his mine from a mini gold rush and his family from the onset of war.<\/div>\n<p><iframe src=\"\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/107031332?title=0&amp;amp;byline=0\" width=\"425\" height=\"350\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<div><b>Director info<\/b><\/div>\n<p>Robbie Frazer was born in Glasgow, Scotland.
