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.

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 BEERTeddyR) 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

Now I'm interested in checking out some South African films. My main exposure to South Africans in the movies comes from Lethal Weapon 2. "Diplomatic immunity!"  TeddyR

Can you recommend anything that might be readily available on DVD, possibly with an English dub?

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.

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.

    Lesson Learned:
    • Osmosis: os·mo·sis (oz-mo'sis, os-) n., 1. When a bird eats something.
