Bloedskande

Director: Cuan Van Niekerk. Experimental. Dur: 4 min.

A conceptual film exploring the darker aspects of white Afrikaans masculinity, examining how cultural expectations pressure young men into acts of violence, even against one another, justified in the name of preserving tradition and identity. Through the perspective of an initiate undergoing this trial for acceptance, the film exposes a self-destructive cycle of masculinity and belonging.

Three gods go for a walkabout in Johannesburg, and recruit a new friend into their group. The goodest goodness is revealed.
