The Wooden Camera is a 2003 South African film directed by Ntshavheni wa Luruli.

Synopsis

The film takes place in and around Cape Town and a nearby township, Khayelitsha. The film centers around two black below 14-year-old brothers, younger Madiba (Junior Singo) and elder Sipho (Innocent Msimango). One day, as they are playing alongside the railroad tracks, they find a dead body. With him they find a gun with one bullet and a video camera. Sipho takes the gun and Madiba takes the camera, which he puts inside a wooden toy camera to make it seem a not-working toy. Sipho seems to harmlessly joke about the gun at first, but begins spending more time in Cape Town, robbing parking meters and paying for glue to sniff. He eventually starts living in abandoned places in Cape Town with a group of thugs.
