Featuring
Rotten, by Kalumbu Kapisa. Through a haunting poetic voice-over, this neo-realistic film meditates on a young man’s discovery of his father’s second life in the criminal underworld, and how he copes with the discovery while holding on to his own identity.
Fuzzy John by Russel Grant is a film documenting the ever growing movement of the same name. The film shows young people running around the much neglected and onimous city centre of Johannesburg in a way never done before. The film premiered in November 2008 at the Wits Tele Awards. The film was met with much love, walking away with Best Cinematography, Best Sound, Best Director, and lastly, Best Film.
Tamandani Kapisa’s Creature of My Habit is a taste of revolutionary filmmaking at its very best. A modern day equivalent of Fritz Lang’s Metropolis, the film vies to be a seminal text of black South African experimental filmmaking with its haunting images of the working man caught up in the rat race, and his struggle to escape from unfulfilling labour.
