Mordi’s Rose Bleeds at the
Edinburgh African Film Festival
As part of the Africa in
Motion Edinburgh African Film Festival, Bleeding Rose, a new
feature film directed by Chucks Mordi will receive its UK
premiere on October 30th 2008.
Bleeding Rose, winner of the
Best Nigerian Feature Film at the Lagos International Film
Festival, features Kate Henshaw-Nuttall Olu Jacobs, JT Tom
West, Kate Effiong, and Juliet Ibeh among others.
What is Bleeding Rose
about?
“Ignoring all warnings, Prof
Eugene goes ahead with his research project in search of a
plant, Bryophyte, believed to be found in a humid virgin
forest in the tropics. This, he claims, could hold the
answer to a pharmaceutical quest for a new healing balm.
Dispatching five of his top botany students to the forest of
Agbabiaka, he basks in the euphoria of their anticipated
success.
Out in the forest, love is
kindled, villages are unsettled, mysteries are unveiled,
death is triggered, war looms and back at the university
Prof Eugene loses his sanity.”
The synopsis above is culled
from Africa in Motion website which offers more detailed
information about Bleeding Rose and other screenings at the
festival.
