Documenting the everyday life and activities of a few people within the Turkana-Ngaremara community in Northern Kenya as they contend with a long drought, “Between the Rains” keeps a respectful distance, observing but never commenting. Directors Andrew H. Brown (who also shot and co-edited the film) and Moses Thuranira (who hails from a nearby community) keep the narration to a minimum, allowing the actions of the people they studied for approximately four years to tell the story. The film, which topped the documentary competition at this year’s Tribeca Film Festival (where it also won cinematography honors), explores the ravaging effects of climate change on an almost extinct ancient community, without intrusion into their lives.
The film follows two brothers. Younger sibling Kole is a teenage shepherd questioning the role he was assigned within his community while dealing with the pressures of proving his manhood. At only 20 years of age,...

Cypher won the founders award for best U.S. narrative feature with the prize going to director Chris Moukarbel.
