I just received word that I will have to pack up my underpants on Saturday 12th July and venture forth into the great unknown, crossing crocodile-infested rivers in order to bring films to the ears and eyes of the good people of Bloemfontein during the yearly Volksblad Art Festival. :teddyr:
I shall require the assistance of Brother Cheezeflix's strong native bearers to carry projectors, cabinets, DVDs, film reels and my motherlode of underpants 300 miles south from here. :buggedout:

Damn......they didn't tell me I'd have to build a road as well!! :buggedout:
..aaannddd, once they've reached their destination and if they haven't eaten all the films and turned the DVDs into frisbees, we will be screening the following: :wink:
DR KALIE
Filmed in my mom's hometown!! The touching story of a hobo who brings meaning to the life of all the people (and himself, indirectly) he encounters on his travels.
PAPPALAP
A heart-tugging story of a penniless sharecropper farmer who literally gives all he has to make his ugly duckling daughter the belle of the ball at the high school prom.
DINGAKA
A very serious film from a pioneer in comedy ~ an African tracks down his daughter's killer in Johannesburg and becomes a fugitive from justice.
DIE RUITER IN DIE NAG
AKA The Rider In The Night ~ a Afrikaner agent does double duty as a spy for the British during the Anglo-Boer War. A strange film this: a very serious war film with a good sense of humor.
DIE PROFESSOR & DIE PRIKKELPOP
AKA The Professor And The Beauty Queen. Another one from Jamie Uys: a nerdish maths professor inadvertently becomes a judge at a beauty pageant.
RIDE THE HIGH WIND
AKA "African Gold". A truly creepy film this: A pilot does a Sole Survivor / Flight of the Phoenix prang in the desert and discovers clues that might lead to a fortune in Anglo Boer War bullion.
DAAR DOER IN DIE BOSVELD
AKA: Faraway In The Bushveld. Jamie Uys' first film and also the first film made in color in Africa, as well as the first film made here with optical trick FX. This film's basic story gave rise to The Gods Must Be Crazy.
DANIE BOSMAN
A biopic of the short tragic life of the talented SA music composer.
DOODKRY IS MIN
Translation: They Can't Keep Us Down. A very, very controversial film by Jamie Uys on the rise of the Afrikaner nation and their language. Last seen in public in 1961 and there are many reasons for it being in the archives unseen by anyone since then.
HIER'S ONS WEER
Translation: Here We Are Again or It's Us Again. A ghost scare comedy filmed not far from my home in Pretoria starring SA's version of Laurel and Hardy and Abbott and Costello, Al Debbo and Frederik Burgers.
LORD OOM PIET
Oy yoy yoy, again with the Jamie Uys. SA's first political comedy about an Afrikaans farmer who discovers that he is in fact a British lord. Hilarious is not the word for this comedic gem.
FUNNY PEOPLE
Jamie Uys' hit candid camera comedy which he made with the assistance of Allen Funt.
As long as yer not going to find the MONSTER from GREEN HELL!
Godd luck! and avoid giant wasps! :smile:

The welcome smell of rancid, 2nd hand undies fills and fouls the air......... and he's back, having survived the cold weather and the lack of freshly starched undies. :teddyr:
Warm regards to all: Newt, I should give you karma every day for the next 10 years for that visiting card! :bouncegiggle: :bouncegiggle:
