Awaiting for Men /En attendant les hommes screening with Meteni: The Lost One Series: The 15th Annual New York African Film Festival [April 9-April 15] Awaiting for Men /En attendant les hommes US Premiere Katy Lena Ndiaye, Belgium, 2007; 56m. In Hassania In the haven of Oualata, a red city on the far edge of the Sahara desert, three women practice traditional painting by decorating the walls of the city. In a society apparently dominated by tradition, religion and men, these women unabashedly express themselves, freely discussing the relationship between men and women. Co-presented with the Margaret Meade Film & Video Festival screening with Meteni: The Lost One US Premiere Wondessen Deresse, Ethiopia, 2002; 30m. In Amharic Meteni is a young Afar woman with two small children. The Afars are nomads who move with their herds through northeastern Ethiopia, the hottest region on earth. Meteni’s husband lets her move there by herself, while he walks to town to buy chat, a narcotic leaf. Alone, Meteni dismantles the house, moving it and all the family’s possessions by camel to a new campsite. She grinds maize by hand, milks the goats and carries water for miles in searing heat. When she becomes pregnant, she continues her punishing workload with disastrous consequences.
