‘Unknown: Cave Of Bones’ (2023) Review: Has The Burial Practice Been Present Since The Dawn Of Life?
Homo naledi, an extinct species of hominids, possesses a unique combination of primitive and present human characteristics. The remains of this ancient species, estimated to be approximately 250,000 to 300,000 years old, were discovered in the Rising Star Cave in South Africa. The announcement of this discovery in 2015 marked a significant advancement in our understanding of human history, as it represented one of the most recent findings related to our evolutionary past.
Notably, the exploration and excavation of the Rising Star Cave by the renowned paleoanthropologist and archaeologist Lee Berger played a crucial role in unraveling the story of Homo naledi. In 2013, Berger and his team made their initial discovery, which piqued their curiosity and led them to further investigate the site. To their astonishment, they unearthed a burial ground within the cave, indicating that Homo naledi and potentially other primitive human ancestors utilized this space as a resting place for their deceased.

Film festivals exist to showcase the future talent in filmmaking and the Gasparilla International Film Festival (Giff) had plenty of talent on hand. The term filmmaking covers everyone from writers, directors, producers, to actors, actresses, and production folk. All the filmmakers that one meets at a film festival are invited to be there. They submitted their short and/or feature films and if selected by the board for screening at the festival, they are encouraged to be apart of the festivities. Or in Giff's case, four days of films and panels followed by kick-ass parties.
As I received the schedule and tried to attend as many of the events possible, I was able to meet a variety of filmmakers from all over. Most of them were kind enough to share their film and entertain my random interrogatories. Random, due to the lack of rest my mind received while covering the festival.
