This is the last weekend to watch our South Africa

This is the last weekend to watch our South Africa film selection! Back of the Moon is a perfect Saturday night movie. 🌙 A gritty period gangster tale and moving love story that takes place over a single night in 1958 in Sophiatown – the night before the entire community was forcibly removed by the apartheid regime to create the white only JHB suburb of Triomph (Triumph).

At the time Sophiatown was a melting pot of good and bad, with gangsters, intellectuals, musicians, journalists and anti-apartheid activists rubbing shoulders in shebeens or illegal drinking houses like Back of the Moon. The film explores this eclectic dynamic through the fictionalised relationship between Badman, a well read gang leader, and Eve, a singer reminiscent of Miriam Makeba, as Badman’s gang attempt to kill him and take over the gang.

Directed by Oscar Nominated film maker Angus Gibson, once criticised for his earlier documentary on Sophiatown, where he was accused of romanticising the situation and glossing over the violent truth of the gangster culture there, Back of the Moon is an accomplished return to this seminal time and place, to answer his critics.

💡 Did you know!

🛶 Beyond the River is Inspired by the true story of Siseko Ntondini and Piers Cruickshanks, whose unlikely pairing as canoeing partners saw them win gold in the gruelling internationally famous Dusi Canoe Marathon.

🤔This is a nail-biting and uplifting film that teases and pleases, as the protagonists struggle to bridge the divide between their vastly different worlds, and find a way to work together to achieve their shared dream – inside their canoe and beyond the river.

🎬 Mdantsane township, where this film is set is where Mandela, himself a great boxer spent much time. 17 world champion boxers have come out of this place. Knuckle City tells a story about a professional boxer and the challenges his 2 sons face in growing up in the shadow of boxing and gangsterism.

🏆 Director Qubeka is world class, brilliant sound track and not for the fainthearted!

Tonight we recommend watching #BuddhaInAfrica. An insightful look into the culturally foreign life of a Buddhist Monastery in Malawi. Enock comes to a painful point in his life, forced to choose between the Buddhist path or to return to his village.
