Shorts 4
Africa for Africans (2017)
Directed by: Jimmy Magala
18min
This examines the fallout from a spate of xenophobic attacks that took place across KwaZulu-Natal in 2015. A valuable intervention, of quickly forgotten African on African crimes.
Can I Please Go to the Bathroom? (2016)
Directed by: Jessie Zinn
4min
Voice over testimonies of young girls from schools in the Western Cape combine with live action and animation to explore issues that surround the space of the ‘bathroom’. An interactive event presented by Femme Projects will accompany the film.
Interview with Aunt Anthea (2016)
Directed by: Ziyaad Rahman
13min
Ziyaad Rahman, twenty-five, is Muslim and lives in Parow, an area he believes has become a multicultural success. He’d like to discuss the developing environment with his elusive neighbour Aunty Anthea, but he thinks she’s an Islamophobe.
I Walk Alone (2016)
Directed by: Lauren Groenewald
30min
Here the personal stories of homophobia reveal a world at odds with our constitution, a world where asylum seekers continue to be victimized while applying for refugee status.
Meaning to a Beginning (2017)
Directed by: Kutlo Justice Mokhethi
7min
This simple short provides lesser-seen insight into the often-discordant beginnings of young musicians and orchestras. Set among a socially-integrated group of children, the next generation of orchestral musicians, Meaning to a Beginning provides an apt metaphor for deliberate integration and transformation in South African society.
