It is fitting that Çut-Out Girls opens the 22^nd of November, a week before sixteen days of activism for no violence against women and children. This frighteningly relevant and unsettling film follows the lives of six women that become interwoven through the dark actions of two aspiring sportsmen. It is a disquieting film that looks into the complexities of date rape.

The young and remarkable cast of fresh new talent venture bravely to where other actors might fear to tread. Under the guidance of writer and director, Nicola Hanekom, they enter an uneasy landscape of blurred lines and misplaced morals in a film that is sure to surprise and move audiences.

The violence perpetrated against women in South Africa has ignited outrage, street protests and a media storm.  In the Twittersphere, the words of poet, Koleka Putuma, retweeted 1.8 K times, summarised the thoughts and feelings of many: ‘I don’t want to die with my hands up, or legs open’. This sentiment of fighting back is what drove Hanekom to make Çut-Out Girls, her debut film.

Çut-Out Girls is an ensemble film with unpredictable plot twists and the different stories of the women intersecting. Kevin and Mike are trying to get ahead in the competitive world of tennis. When one of them discovers a dangerous key that can unlock their potential, things get out of hand. Their world spirals out of control. A small series of seemingly insignificant moments weave together with devastating consequences. The film delves deep into the notion that in every moment a choice exists. It also challenges the narrative that says only wild, hard-partying jocks rape.

Çut-Out Girls stars Joel Rosenblatt, Cody Mountain, Keziah Gabriel, Chloe Papademetriou, Meghan Oberholzer, Ashleigh van der Hoven and Atlanta Johnson. The story is loosely based on a successful stage play by Hanekom that featured the same cast.

Çut-Out Girls was shot in and around Cape Town in 2017. A portion of the proceeds of the film will go to the non-profit organisation Rape Crisis.

The film is produced by Act Cape Town Productions, in association with Haas & Kaas.

Çut-Out Girls is distributed in South Africa by Indigenous Film Distribution. It releases nationwide on 22 November 2019.

In the local world of blessers, wealthy, middle-aged men lavish gifts and money on young women in return for companionship and more. But what happens when it all goes wrong?

Sexy new comedy Blessers, a topical and very funny look at the naughty lifestyles of Mzansi’s elite, is directed by Rea Rangaka and executive produced by entertainment entrepreneur Tbo Touch. The film stars Kenneth Nkosi in the role of Jacob Zulu, a business mogul who loves life and loves his family. But Jacob is lonely because his wife Michelle, played by Sonia Mbele withholds her affection and his daughter Natasha by Six Nyamane, is a demanding brat.

Jacob was drawn to Michelle, a businesswoman who comes from a wealthy family, because she is smart and sophisticated, but she’s also distant and he feels isolated. When a colleague convinces him to get involved in the blessers world, Jacob decides to put his money to good use and find young women he can ‘bless’.

But if you are a blesser, he points out, just remember that you are never in the selfies – those who are well trained know that the glamorous holiday pics are all about the girl.

Like Jacob, a blesser is usually a powerful businessman, who is either married, or has no desire for conventional dating, and he has lots of cash to spare. The blessee, meanwhile, is normally an attractive younger woman who can’t afford her luxury lifestyle.

The couple will usually establish a financial agreement early on. Some blessees ask for a monthly allowance, while other get ‘expenses’ in the form of overseas holidays and shopping sprees. A growing number of blessees are university students who get their blessers to pay their fees. They all demand the most expensive champagne and will drink it by the gallon, even if it gives them heartburn.

Blessees sometimes get bad press, because of the financial relationship with blessers, but the key difference between them and escorts is that they have a regular arrangement and usually get together several times a month. The arrangements are often mutually beneficial relationships with someone the women consider a friend.

Blessers opens in cinemas nationwide on 25 October and is distributed by Indigenous Film Distribution.

The post Blessers appeared first on Stage and Screen.

Although the arrangement is nothing new, ‘blesser’ is a South African term for an older man who has multiple girlfriends he lavishes with gifts, in exchange for sex and companionship. In turn, the girlfriends post photos on social media of expensive shoes, clothes and piles of cash, tagging the pictures #blessed.

That’s the subject at the heart of the slick and hilarious new comedy ‘Blessers’, by actor and director Rea Rangaka, known for ‘Ode in Blood’ (2013), ‘For the Lovers Only’ (2012) and ‘iNumber Number’ (2017). ‘Blessers’ releases in cinemas on 25 October 2019.

The film stars award-winning actor and comedian Kenneth Nkosi (‘Skeem’, 2011; ‘Paradise Stop’ (2011); ‘District 9’ (2009) and ‘White Wedding’ (2009), as Jacob Mofokeng, a middle-aged businessman who has become accustomed to his routine, a life which includes his wife, Michelle (Sonia Mbele of ‘Generations’ fame), his daughter Natasha (Six Nyamane), his work and his fun.

As a powerful CEO, with a big house, a successful spouse, a family, and expensive recreational habits, Jacob feels like life will always be easy. Along with George, his colleague and partner-in-crime, the two dominate the boardroom as well as the bedroom but as it turns out, they do not quite control their homes. Caught knee-deep in the word of blessers, Jacob and his family are about to learn a few hard lessons and discover that they are perhaps not that #blessed.

Entrepreneur Thabo Molefe, better known as Tbo Touch, make his big screen debut in the movie. The Touch HD radio owner plays the role of flamboyant Mthakathi the Fixer, who lives in a R48 million penthouse. He throws extravagant parties where he introduces blessers to slay queens.

‘Blessers’ is written by Tbo Touch, Sasa Nqabeni and Kumaran Naidu. It’s produced by Masechaba Rose Molefe and Malebo Manamela.

“The film was the brainchild of Tbo Touch and Touch HD,” says Rangaka. “My role was to make it happen. It has an interesting way tonally, of dealing with some really dark material like the concept of blessers, cheating, and the sex trade, and making it palatable. We’ve seen and lived with the events on screen all around us. The film is ‘funny ha ha’, but even funnier as in ‘oh snap!’

‘Blessers’ will be released in cinemas nationwide and is distributed by Indigenous Film Distribution.

Post production has been completed on the new feature film Kings of Mulberry Street, written and directed by acclaimed director and producer Judy Naidoo.

Set in the fictional town of Sugarhill District in the early 80s, the film was shot on location in Verulam and Tongaat in KwaZulu Natal, during the latter half of 2017. The film tells the story of two young Indian boys who must find a way to overcome their differences and unite in order to defeat the bullying local crime lord, who’s threatening their families.

It’s a charming and hilarious adventure, with universal themes that will appeal to the whole family. The film also pays tribute to classic 80’s Bollywood movies and their heroes.

In the lead roles are young newcomers Aaqil Hoosen, as Ticky Chetty and Shaan Nathoo, as Baboo Harold Singh. They were discovered by Durban-based casting director Kajal Bagwandeen, of Imagine Worx.

Naidoo describes it as a story of true greatness and an epic tale of Baboo and his best friend, Ticky. Feisty Ticky is like a tjara artful dodger – cheeky and daring, with a streetwise swagger and little respect for rules.

Ticky escapes the realities of his 80’s Sugarhill District’s existence by living in a Bollywood dream world where he’s an unbeatable action hero. Rooftops are his kingdom. When chubby, timid Baboo moves into the neighbourhood with his snooty, academic dad, Ticky thinks he’s the biggest loser he’s ever seen, but soon the two boys are drawn together by the shared threat of local bully and crime boss, Raja.

Naidoo says the film is not only a homage to Indian cinema from the 80’s, but also pays tribute to where she comes from. She adds that she wanted to showcase a world that has not been featured in South African cinema before, and communities that have not been represented on the big screen. Locations in Verulam and Tongaat make up the fictional town of Sugarhill District. She used the best and most cinematic locations from both little towns, to create the vibrant world of the story.

Naidoo is a multi-award-winning filmmaker who had great success on the local and international film festival circuit when her 2016 debut feature, Hatchet Hour scooped several prestigious awards, including Best Director and Best Picture at the New Hope Film Festival in Pennsylvania, as well as the Best Foreign Film Award at the LA Femme International Film Festival. The film was also nominated for a Golden Horn Award for Best Achievement in Cinematography.

Kings of Mulberry Street will open at cinemas in June 2019 and is distributed in South Africa by Indigenous film Distribution.

Om ‘n film te maak wat geestesversteurings aanspreek is ‘n brawe ding om te doen, maar dit het akteur en aanbieder, Pietie Beyers, nie ontmoedig om sy eie ervaring van obsessief-kompulsiewe versteuring in ‘n draaiboek en film te omskep nie.

Skemerson, wat dus deur ware gebeure geïnspireer is, vertel die verhaal van ‘n jong man wat aan patologiese twyfelversteuring ly. In ‘n oomblik van totale wanhoop bevind hy, Sella, vertolk deur Pietie Beyers, homself op die Bloukransbrug, waar sy pad met twee vreemdelinge, Emma (Anneke Weideman) en Lidi (Elize Cawood), kruis. Hierdie ontmoeting het nie net Sella se lewe gered nie, maar dit het ook die lewens van Emma en Lidi aangeraak.

Beyers is bekend vir sy rolle in Binnelanders, Buurtwag en Sy klink soos lente, asook vir die aanbieding van Blitsbrein, ’n speletjiesprogram wat op VIA uitgesaai word. Sy karakter, Sella, wat ironies genoeg “Place of Peace” beteken, gaan deur ‘n besondere donker tyd in sy lewe. Sella se ontmoeting met Emma en Lidi was dalk aanvanklik lukraak, maar dit was uiteindelik die kruispad wat hom gered het.

Sy mede-aktrise, Anneke Weideman, maak na ‘n sewejaaronderbreking van die toneelwêreld weer ‘n draai op die silwerdoek. Weideman werk tans voltyds as geneesheer, maar het die geleentheid om die rol van Emma te vertolk, dadelik aangegryp. Die veteraan-aktrise, Elize Cawood, vertolk die rol van Lidi, Emma se terminaalsiek ma, en ten spyte van haar siektestoestand sorg Lidi telkemaal vir komiese verligting in oomblikke van wanhoop.

Alhoewel die film hoofsaaklik ‘n uitbeelding van die stryd met ‘n geestesversteuring is, word die onderliggende tema van liefde ook aangeraak. Beyers vertel soos volg: “Skemerson is ook ’n storie oor die liefde: romantiese liefde, liefde vir almal om jou en liefde vir jouself. Dit is ’n universele storie en een van die eerlikste films wat jy ooit sal sien”.

Om sodoende berusting te kon vind, moes Sella eers liefde aan homself bewys en aanvaar dat dit “okay is om nie okay te wees nie”. Depressie en soortgelyke versteurings is nie ooglopend sigbaar soos ‘n snymerk, letsel of wond nie. Dis ‘n innerlike stryd en ‘n alleen pad wat daardie persoon daagliks moet trotseer. Sella se geesteswroeging word versterk deur die regisseur, Phillip Rademeyer se eenvoudige verteltegniek, asook gepaste en dramatiese agtergrondmusiek, met erkenning aan die komponis, Riku Latti, wat meestal die plek van oorbodige dialoog inneem.

Die enigste kritiek in hierdie opsig is dat die agtergrondmusiek tonele met tye oorheers het. Maar ten spyte hiervan het die musiek en William Collinson se voortreflike kamerawerk die Oos-Kaapse landskap op vredevolle wyse uitgebeeld.

Met die loklyn “Dis okay om nie okay te wees nie” bring die skrywer en vervaardigers ‘n boodskap van hoop aan diegene wat met geestesversteurings worstel. Danksy finansiële steun van die farmaseutiese maatskappy, CIPLA, wat ‘n verskeidenheid medikasie vir depressie en soortgelyke geestesversteurings produseer, kon die film gemaak word.

Phillip Rademeyer het die regie behartig, terwyl Palama Productions, onder leiding van Niel van Deventer, die film vervaardig het. Rademeyer, wat hoofsaaklik teateropleiding ontvang het, meen dat hierdie projek ‘n steil leerkurwe was, maar dat dit hom na aan die hart lê omdat hy self al by tye met sy geestesgesondheid gesukkel het.

Skemerson word op die 3de Mei 2019 landswyd vrygestel.

Depression is an illness like any other; there’s no shame in seeking help. That’s the message of a new film that treats mental illness with warmth, respect and integrity.

Mental illness, and the stigma surrounding it, is a critical issue. It’s the central theme of Skemerson, the new film directed by Phillip Rademeyer and written by Pietie Beyers, which opens nationwide on Friday 3 May 2019.

The film tells the story of a young man, Sella Beyers who decides to take his own life. He stands on the 216m high Bloukrans Bridge, the iconic arch bridge located near Nature’s Valley, about to meet his fate, when he hears a young woman’s laugh. When Emma (Anneke Weidemann), her frail mother, acclaimed actress Elize Cawood, and Sella meet serendipitously on the bridge, it’s the beginning of a weekend that changes three lives forever.

The film was made with financial assistance from pharmaceutical company Cipla South Africa, which produces a range of medicines for the treatment of depressive disorders. Wouter Lombard, Cipla’s Associate Director of Marketing in the Central Nervous System portfolio, says many people are not seeking help or getting treatment out of fear of being stereotyped.

Skemerson helps promote the message that depression can be treated effectively, and that help is always at hand. “We were keen to help fund the movie as part of our goal to fight the stigmas related to mental health conditions,” Lombard adds. “When Neil van Deventer and Pietie Beyers approached us we immediately realised that we had the same objectives – to get the message out there that ‘It’s ok not to be ok’, and that it’s ok to talk about mental health, a subject that needs to be highlighted.”

Skemerson is a personal story for Beyers and is inspired by true events. “It’s not entirely my own story, but my own experience with obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) motivated me to write the script and have the film made. Expressing my emotions in a healthy and productive way proved to be a healing experience for me and I hope that the story will help others too. A key theme of the film is that mental health issues are normal, common, and nothing to be ashamed of,” he says.

Men are four times more likely to die by suicide, which suggests that many of them suffer from undiagnosed mental health issues. Instances of undiagnosed depression are also substantially higher in men, and it has been shown that they seek mental health help far less than women.²

Rademeyer says he has at times struggled with his own mental health and knows the feelings of shame and isolation it can cause. “Helping to bring this story to life was important,” he says. “With Skemerson we hope to convey to audiences the message that mental health issues are common, and nothing to be ashamed of.”

Skemerson is produced by Niel van Deventer (Dis Ek, Anna) and Pietie Beyers. The film stars Pietie Beyers (Binneland, Sy Klink Soos Lente), Elize Cawood (Vir Altyd, Die Wonderwerker) and Anneke Weidemann (Die Wonderwerker, Die Ongelooflike Avonture van Hanna Hoekom).  It is directed by Philip Rademeyer (Wild, Klippe wat Val).

To assist in destigmatising mental illness in South Africa, Cipla launched a free counselling helpline in collaboration with the South African Depression and Anxiety Support Group (SADAG).

Queer cinema has steadily grown to become one of the leading forces in film internationally over the last five years. And South Africa is no different. Etienne Kallos’s film Die Stropers, which won critical acclaim at the 2018 Cannes Film Festival, opens nationwide on 15 March and is the latest in a series of award-winning films about gayness.

The South African-French-Greek-Polish co-production, by first-time Greek-South African director Kallos, is an intense psychological drama exploring the coming-of-age of a new generation of Afrikaans youth. Set against a severe and dusty landscape, it tells the story of obedient Afrikaans teenager, Janno, played by Brent Vermeulen, whose deeply religious mother, Marie, brings home a troubled street orphan and drug addict, Pieter, portrayed by Alex van Dyk, to foster on the family’s remote cattle farm in the Free State.

It explores the thorny issue of identity and sexuality in a provocative and darkly moving way. As Pieter goes through withdrawal, Janno takes him under his wing, introducing him to the farm, the local prayer group and the church boys’ rugby club. But Pieter is far worldlier than Janno, and instantly spots the fact that Janno has a crush on his best friend. Pieter also introduces Janno to the lively nearby black community, and reveals that he has been selling his body to local men for cash. Janno finds this shocking, but he’s also envious.

In South Africa, Skoonheid, directed by Oliver Hermanus, was the first Afrikaans film to be selected for the Cannes Film Festival, and won the Queer Palm in 2011.

Inxeba (The Wound) won 19 awards of excellence at festivals around the globe, including the BFI, the African American Film Critics Association, and the International Queer & Migrant Film Festival in Amsterdam. At home, the film walked away with 8 SAFTAs.

In 2018 Kanarie, the tale of a queer teenage man who gets called up for military service, sparked international interest and raked in several international accolades before even hitting the big screen in South Africa. It won the Silwerskerm Film Festival award for Best Feature Film, among other awards, as well as Best LGBTQ film at the Cape Town International Film Festival. It went on to win awards in Chicago and Atlanta in the US. Kanarie was also part of the Official Selection at the 2018 OutFest in Los Angeles, as well as the Inside Out Toronto LGBT Film Festival.

Die Stropers had its premiere at the Cannes Film Festival, where it received a standing ovation from the audience. The film has already won a number of international awards including:

• Sundance/Mahindra ‘Global Filmmaker Award’
• Gan Foundation, ‘Prix Opening Shot Award’
• Rome International Film Festival ‘Alice Nella Citta Jury Award for Best First Feature’
• Cheries-Cheris Film Festival, ‘Grand Prix’ Award
• African Film Festival of Khouribga, ‘Best Director’ Award

Die Stropers is a Spier Films production. The film’s investors include the KwaZulu Natal Film Commission, Agence Film France, the Greek Film Institute, the Polish Film Institute, and the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) and produced by Spier Films. The film’s producers are Sophie Erbs, Cinema de Facto (France) and Thembisa Cochrane, Spier Films (South Africa). The executive producers are Dr Lwazi Manzi and Michael Auret, Spier Films.

The decline in church attendance is a global phenomenon. The role of the priest in our rapidly changing world is one of the themes that lies at the heart of Dominee Tienie, a new film starring acclaimed actor Frank Opperman, who reprises on the big screen, the role he played on stage in the one-man play of the same name, written by Dana Snyman.

The film tells the story of a priest who needs to win back his confidence, if he is to again become the light he once was for everyone around him. After 16 years of serving as the priest of the mother church, Tienie Benade is faced with a steep decline in the number of congregants and a modern society that is rapidly changing.  Is he brave enough to provide guidance to his congregation in this new era?

Director and co-writer Sallas de Jager says that the idea of an Afrikaans priest coming to the realisation that he has lost his way and doesn’t know where he fits within this modern society, immediately fascinated him, further adding how it has been a privilege to tread on proverbial holy ground, in that this is how he feels about adapting one of the most successful plays, written by one of the most beloved Afrikaans writers, Dana Snyman, for the big screen

Helen Kuun, MD of Indigenous Film Distribution mentions that the film explores a topic that is close to the hearts of many South Africans; keeping the faithful in a world where people consult other professionals for their problems, highlights the dilemmas of the modern priest.

Dominee Tienie also explores the inner world of a man who is battling to get to grips with changing times while he confronts his own mid-life crisis.  For Opperman, the role adds to the list of memorable alter egos for which he has become famous: from the eager-to-please Ouboet in Orkney Snork Nie, and the scheming Chris Karedes in The Big Time, to Koos Andries Koekemoer in Gauteng-a-Leng.

The film is directed by Sallas de Jager of Free State fame, as well as Stuur Groete aan Mannetjies Roux and Musiek vir die Agtergrond, who wrote the screenplay based on Snyman’s play.  The cast also features Henriëtta Gryffenberg known for her roles in Die Sonkring, Erfsondes and Malunde, Thapelo Mokoena from Fear Factor, Wild at Heart and Long Walk to Freedom, Regardt van den Bergh known for Tornado and the Kalahari Horse Whisperer and Uitvlucht, Deon Lotz of Skoonheid, Sleepers Wake and Faan se Trein, Paul Eilers, known for roles in Verraaiers, Stuur groete aan Mannetjies Roux, Musiek vir die Agtergrond and Annette Engelbrecht from Orkney Snork Nie, Geraamtes in die Kas and Elke Skewe Pot.

De Jager says the film will both entertain and challenge audiences and will certainly afford them the opportunity to experience some of South Africa’s leading actors and technicians at their very best.

Dominee Tienie is distributed by Indigenous Film Distribution and releases nationally on 25 January 2019.

One man’s bandit is another man’s champion. That is the theme at the heart of Sew the Winter to My Skin, a new film by South African director Jahmil X.T. Qubeka.  The film is a searing reimagining of the story of John Kepe, a legendary outlaw of pre-apartheid South Africa..

Hailed as a Western-style manhunt thriller, the film is distinctly South African in flavour, but universal in its themes. It re-interprets the remarkable tale of Kepe, portrayed by actor Ezra Mabengeza, the self-proclaimed “Samson of the Boschberg”, born around 1898, who became a type of Robin Hood figure in 1940’s South Africa.

The history of the character is intriguing. He hid himself away in a huge cave – after whom Kepe’s Cave, close to the overnight hut on the Boschberg Hiking Trail, is named. Perched high in the mountainous Great Karoo region for 12 years, Kepe’s crimes mostly involved burglary and stealing livestock. He was first arrested in Graaff-Reinet in 1921 for housebreaking and poaching, and then again near Pearston in 1933. Kepe was found at this trial to be an habitual criminal, was once again jailed, then released in 1940 on condition that he did not leave Graaff-Reinet for five years, but he disappeared and the police lost all contact with him.

Between 1950 and 1951, the police received numerous telephone calls from people reporting stock theft and housebreaking. Stock were continually being slaughtered on the Boschberg and the farm Ongegund was broken into 13 times in 18 months.  Some people encountered a man carrying a .22 rifle on the Boschberg, who behaved like a guard and questioned them but as there was no such armed guard posted, the police realised that this must be their man.

Kepe’s fate was sealed when he was accused of murdering Dirk Goliath, a shepherd who had recognised him.  Following a huge manhunt, Kepe was finally apprehended in February 1952 and sent to trial.  Found guilty and sentenced to death, he was hanged in Pretoria that June.

Qubeka’s film focusses more on Kepe the myth, than the man, reimagining the elusive and mysterious sheep rustler as a powerful emblem of resistance to white colonial rule at the time. He also creates the fictionalised posse that is on Kepe’s trail, led by Nazi sympathizer General Botha, played by Peter Kurth and a flamboyantly moustached sidekick, Black Wyatt Earp, portrayed by Zolisa Xaluva.  The film attempts to explore the settler mentality and offers insight into the posse’s perspective and context.

Qubeka says he wanted to tell an authentic South African tale in the epic scale of the adventure films of his childhood, like Spielberg’s Raiders of the Lost Ark, Kevin Costner’s Dances with Wolves, Kotcheff’s First Blood and Mulcahy’s’ Highlander and fuse this with elements of the grandiose American Westerns of John Ford. Sew the Winter to My Skin, is a dream manifested for Qubeka.
