WORK IN PROGRESS This story of a Pakistani home for orphans is an extraordinarily complex achievement, full of angry, scared young boys who threaten each other and then, in the next breath, hold each other close against the vagaries of the world. There are no numbers to text at the end to learn how things can be fixed. It’s not clear if things can be fixed. Part of a new vanguard of U.S. doc filmmakers merging cinema and documentary, These Birds Walk is spurred on by technological advances, namely DSLR cameras that let the filmmakers guide our eyes to the micro-details of existence. By crafting images and soundscapes, Omar Mullick and Bassim Tariq convey a heightened reality, making us feel all the fear and anxiety that these boys face. Showing as a work in progress—see this now so you can say you got on board early. (DW)
