{{Rwandan actor Damour Selemani is hospitalized in Kibagabaga after his body burned when his clothes caught fire while filming a movie called ” Ndi Umukristu .”}}
“His condition is improving,” says Jerubaal Kayiranga, the director of the film.
His chest and abdomen caught fire. He was starring in a scene in which the fire had to engulf a man.
The man was wearing clothes soaked in oil. A member of the shooting team stroke a match and the man burned down. The team was not expecting that the actor would burn.
“It was an accident and next time we would be better prepared”, said Kayiranga.
More experienced filmmakers condemn this incident.
Theo Bizimana, the director of Silver Film Productions denounces ignorance exacerbates the part of the production team.
“There are many scenes that are created by computer special effects”, he said.
Fellow actor Dennis Nsanzamahoro accuses the team of failing to seek advice from more experienced filmmakers.
