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

Plot

The film takes place in and around Cape Town and a nearby township, Khayelitsha. The film centers around two 14-year old friends, Madiba (Junior Singo) and Sipho (Innocent Msimango). One day, as they are playing alongside the railroad tracks, they find a dead body, on him, they find a gun and a video camera. Sipho takes the gun and Madiba takes the camera, which he covers with wood to disguise it.
