Description
Abstract Shooting Bokkie presents itself as a documentary about a juvenile assassin or bokkie as he executes a series of victims in the ganglands outside Cape Town, South Africa. Director Rob de Mezieres uses numerous signifiers of documentary authenticity, such as shaky handheld observational documentary style footage, archival material and interviews, to convince the viewer that the content is factual. He frames the film with footage from unstaged briefing sessions with the crew during which the ethical implications of filming assassinations is the topic of heated and clearly genuine discussions. Further, De Mezieres refuses to disclose whether the footage is real or not, and some viewers are not sure whether or not they have just witnessed actual killings. The film confronts filmmakers and viewers alike with their complicity (as voyeurs or passive bystanders) in the killings.
