jyoti mistry film season in cape town

Filed under: south african cinema — ABRAXAS @ 6:00 pm

23 AUGUST 6.00 pm:

Screening of THE BULL ON THE ROOF (LE BOEUF SUR LE TOIT; 2010; 80 minutes), a poetic journey through 4 cities: Johannesburg, Helsinki, New York and Vienna.

“Using various visual strategies — cinéma verité, surveillance, performance, and animation– LE BOEUF SUR LE TOIT amounts to a personal impressionistic essay that associates rather than explains, that shows rather than tells.
(http://www.shadowymeadows.com/Lebouf.html).

Lesley Marx will introduce and discussion will follow.

24 AUGUST 2.00 pm:

I MIKE WHAT I LIKE (2006; 50 Minutes).

“It offers a visceral connection with language and a fluid, narrative, cinematic experience that is a kaleidoscopic visual interpretation of Kgafela oa Magogodi’s powerful words.” (www.imdb.com)

Adam Haupt will introduce and discussion will follow.

All screenings and discussions in UCT; BEATTIE 114; book launch party at 18:00 on Wednesday in Beattie foyer
