Title: Cheezeflix: your "natives" are required again! Post by: Trevor on June 13, 2008, 07:37:43 AM I just hope they don't shrink my head again this year. :buggedout: I've just got to think of a way to get the films down there without angering them.
From 8 ~ 13 July, we'll be screening films in Bloemfontein as part of the Volksblad Art festival which you can find at www.volksbladfees.co.za (http://www.volksbladfees.co.za). We'll be screening the following: Kom Saam, Vanaand (Come Together Tonight): the first Afrikaans musical film. It's in black and white, so I hope the projectionists don't think there's something wrong with the film. :wink: Kimberley Jim: Jim Reeves' first and only feature film which he made in SA. Jannie Totsiens (Johnny Farewell): a very :buggedout: film this, South Africa's first horror film. What is strange is that it is scary, but it is also very funny too. Lied In My Hart / Song In My Heart: I told Andrew about this film in an email: the censors in 1970 got hold of it and deleted the film's opening by two minutes. They were apparently highly upset about a church minister going into a bar, being a man of the people and gasp! shock! horror! actually having a BEER! (you heard me, a BEER! :teddyr:) with his people! I had to go through six prints before I found one that wasn't censored. :question: Shangani Patrol: I am not , repeat, not going to warn the people about this film's ending. :buggedout: See my submitted reader review and see why. :wink: Wild Season: great film, long overdue for a another look ~ this film was made the year I was born! :buggedout: Katrina: the most daring film of its' time that explored race questions in apartheid era South Africa. Good stuff but very depressing. The Foster Gang: independent film made about the pre World War 1 murderous SA bankrobbers: another b/w film. Jy is My Liefling (You Are My Love): a musical comedy with a monkey as a co-star (I kid you not) Dirkie / Lost In The Desert: I will have to thread the projector blindfolded: this film scared the hell out of me as a child. :buggedout: Ongewenste Vreemdeling / The Unwanted Stranger[/i]: weird film about weird people living in an SA logging community and with a very, very shocking ending. :buggedout: Kruger Millions: also made the year I was born, about the mythical Kruger gold coins which are supposed to have been buried in South Africa during the Boer War. Lots of work here for me: this is almost 200 000 feet of film to fix up! :buggedout: Title: Re: Cheezeflix: your "natives" are required again!

Can you recommend anything that might be readily available on DVD, possibly with an English dub? Title: Re: Cheezeflix: your "natives" are required again!

Andy, I'll send you my 1910 ~ 2008 list in a few minutes of every single feature film made in or about South Africa which has synopses and everything you need to know. If any title strikes your fancy, drop me a line and I'll put you in contact with the rights holders. :smile: The list is rather big, by the way. |
