A brief and erotic excursion into the past and present of seventies exotic dance sensation and devout Christian Glenda Kemp. Echoing the conflict between Christ and the Devil, split-screen images merge the world of the flesh and the spirit.
Orgie (South Africa 2009)
Director: Hein de Vos
Cast: Jan Ellis, Vicky Davis

The first glimpse of a proposed feature based on the novel by Andre P. Brink, inspired by his obsessive and erotically charged relationship with the poet Ingrid Jonker. Unflinching in its examination of the damage lovers can inflict, the book can take its place beside The Story of O and Venus in Furs.
BY ANY OLD LIGHT (France 2008)
Director: Dionysos Andronis
Featuring: Peter Whitehead, Aryan Kaganof, Dionysos Andronis
The meeting between South Africa’s controversial filmmaker/writer/poet Aryan Kaganof and Britain’s elder statesman of cinematic subversion Peter Whitehead - filmmaker, writer, occultist, musician, lover, joker - is beautifully observed. Whitehead proposes that terrorism is the last creative act - a work of art, in fact.
