Shot in a single summer in Lamu, Kenya, ‘Crowsnest’ is a film of two resonances.
The first considers how architecture shapes a populace, nurturing and depositing lives on top of one another. Swahili rooftops operate as a third space—between the privacy of the interior courtyard (kiwanda) and the publicity of the Swahili porch (daka), neither and both.

The second is a curious and shy navigation of what it means to ‘look.’ — to brush against others' lives, to realise they are as varied as your own - to wish you knew more, but to be sure you never can.
