					<description><![CDATA[<p>Season 2 of SA's Serial Killer Hunter, Streaming on Showmax this July!</p>
<p>The post <a href="https://stageandscreen.co.za/archives/small-screen-archives/die-byl-season-2/">Die Byl, Season 2</a> appeared first on <a href="https://stageandscreen.co.za">Stage and Screen</a>.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">The trailer of <em>Die Byl Season 2, </em>was released recently, after a very successful first season. The follow-up season comes to Showmax, exclusively for six months on 15 July 2019.  The series is directed by Quentin Krog, amongst others, with Waldemar Schultz in the lead role again.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Schultz and Lika Berning won the <em>Huisgenoot</em> Tempo Awards for Best Actor and Best Actress in 2017 respectively, for their roles in the first season, as Colonel Piet van Bijl and Captain Lena Evans.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Loosely based on the real life South African super detective Piet Byleveld, who passed away in 2017, Piet van Bijl is a brilliant detective who specialises in serial killers &#8211; and a workaholic who will do anything for those closest to him.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In Season 2, which is set five years later, Byl&#8217;s relationship with Advocate Nicky van As, is on the rocks, while Captain Lena Evans is now married and mother to a young son. The team&#8217;s offices have had a makeover and in the lab, Dr. Fritz Barnard has a new assistant, Dr. Shani van Rooi, which is played by Trudy van Rooy.  Ellie Bonthuys, played by Avanti winner Barbara-Marié Immelman, once a journalist only looking for sensationalism, is now the police unit&#8217;s spokesperson.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The series also stars Vita award winner Tertius Meintjes as general Neels van As, Marvin-Lee Beukes as captain Juan Stuurman, and Rolanda Marais as Byl&#8217;s ex-wife, Carien.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The nail-biting crime series is being produced by Marche Media and features guest appearances from the likes of SAFTA winners Denise Newman, Deon Lotz, Marius Weyers, and Jody Abrahams, who stars in the first episode as Captain Willem Ruiters, called in to help Byl and his team investigating the deaths of six members of <em>the Sons of Samson</em>, a Cape Flats gang.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><em>Die Byl, Season 2, </em>will stream on Showmax, as from 15 July 2019.<em>  </em>Showmax is available free of charge to all DSTV Premium customers, as well as on <a href="https://www.showmax.com/eng/welcome/za">https://www.showmax.com/eng/welcome/za</a></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>ŉ </strong><strong>Baie persoonlike biografiese rolprent gebaseer op die roman van Elsa Joubert</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="http://www.stageandscreen.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/Poppie-Nongena-Anna-Mart-van-der-Merwe.png"><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-11043" src="http://www.stageandscreen.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/Poppie-Nongena-Anna-Mart-van-der-Merwe-298x300.png" alt="" width="298" height="300" /></a>Vervaardiger Helena Spring het aangekondig dat die nalatenskap fliek, <em>Poppie Nongena</em> op 30 Januarie 2020 in fliekteaters landswyd uitgereik sal word. Die fliek is gebaseer op die bekroonde boek “Die Swerfjare van Poppie Nongena” deur Elsa Joubert.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Clementime Mosimane maak haar rolprentdebuut as Poppie. Die res van die rolverdeling sluit groot name in, soos Anna-Mart van der Merwe, Dawid Minnaar, Rolanda Marais en Lida Botha.  Nomsa Nene, wat die naamrol vertolk het in die verhoogproduksie <em>Poppie </em>– wat ook van 1982 tot 1984 internasionaal opgevoer is – vertolk die rol van Poppie se ma.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><em>Poppie Nongena</em> vertel die aangrypende verhaal van ŉ Afrikaanssprekende Xhosa-vrou wie se lewe om haar gesin draai terwyl sy probeer om stabiliteit te vind in ŉ era van ondraaglike onrus in Suid-Afrika. Dit speel in ŉ tyd af waarin swart vroue deur boetes, arrestasies en gedwonge verskuiwings gedwing is om hul tuistes te verlaat om in afgeleë gebiede, die sg. swart tuislande, ŉ nuwe lewe te gaan begin.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Wanneer Stone, Poppie se man, te siek word om te werk, beskou die owerhede haar skielik as ŉ  onwettige burger in haar eie land. Sy voer ŉ desperate stryd om wettiglik te mag bly, al beteken dit sy moet van huis na huis trek en gedurig aansoek doen vir permitte en verdere uitstel. Poppie werp alles in die stryd om nie van haar kinders geskei te word nie. Maar uiteindelik word sy vasgevang in die spervuur van haar kinders se behoeftes, haar man se siekte, ŉ gemeenskap se woede en onderdrukkende wette. In 1976 – net toe die onluste uitbreek – word Poppie uiteindelik gedwing om die stryd gewonne te gee.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Die roman is wyd geloof en word steeds beskou as baanbrekerswerk in die Afrikaans letterkunde. Dis binne die eerste vier maande drie maal herdruk en uiteindelik in dertien tale vertaal. Plaaslik is dit bekroon met die W.A. Hofmeyr-, CNA- en Louis Luyt-prys. Die British Royal Society het Joubert bekroon met die Winifred Holtby-prys en sy is in 1981 aangewys as ŉ “Fellow of the Society”. Joubert se latere werk is bekroon met talle plaaslike en internasionale pryse, onder meer die Hertzogprys, die mees gesogte prys in die Afrikaanse letterkunde.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Die veelbekroonde dramaturg en regisseur Christiaan Olwagen het die regie behartig, en Vicci Turpin was verantwoordelik vir die kinematografie. Olwagen was die regisseur van drie vorige rolprente (<em>Die Seemeeu</em>, <em>Johnny is nie dood nie</em> en <em>Kanarie)</em>. Die draaiboek is deur Olwagen en die bekroonde dramaturg Saartjie Botha verwerk.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><em>Poppie Nongena</em> word moontlik gemaak deur kykNET, M-Net, FilmFinity, Die Departement van Handel en Nywerheid en Arco. Dit word landswyd in rolprentteaters in Januarie 2020 bekendgestel.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Deon Meyer’s Trackers to come alive on the Small Screen in Biggest African TV Colab.</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://www.stageandscreen.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Trackers-Deon-Meyer.png"><img decoding="async" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-10789" src="http://www.stageandscreen.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Trackers-Deon-Meyer-300x262.png" alt="" width="300" height="262" /></a>The television adaptation of internationally acclaimed author Deon Meyer&#8217;s crime novel <em>Tracker</em>s marks the beginning of a new era in high-end African storytelling. Pan-African television network M-Net and two global broadcasting giants are joining forces to take this uniquely South African political thriller to the world.  First, as announced in December 2018, M-Net sealed a groundbreaking collaboration deal with Germany&#8217;s public broadcaster ZDF. Now, M-Net can confirm that <em>Tracker</em>s is also being co-produced by Cinemax, which will also distribute the drama series worldwide beyond M-Net and ZDF&#8217;s geographical broadcasting footprint.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">&#8220;The trailblazing and massively exciting co-production of<em> Trackers</em> illustrates M–Net&#8217;s vision and commitment to shine the spotlight on the African film and television industry and provide fresh, proudly African narratives to our viewers as well as global audiences,&#8221; says MultiChoice CEO of General Entertainment, Yolisa Phahle. &#8220;It is also taking our longstanding relationship with Cinemax to the next level, allowing local and international talent to combine their world-class story-telling and production skills.&#8221;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">While M-Net is already the home of Cinemax and its sister network HBO, allowing viewers to enjoy showstoppers like <em>Game of Thrones, Big Little Lies, Westworld</em> and many more, HBO, Cinemax and M-Net also launched an innovative Producers Apprenticeship programme last year when the Cinemax series <em>Warrior, </em>coming to M-Net in July, was filmed in South Africa. Some other Cinemax originals screened on M-Net include <em>Banshee, The Knick </em>and <em>Strike Back. </em></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Filming for <em>Trackers </em>has already started in exotic locations spanning the length and breadth of South Africa and the co-production partners have been working together on all aspects of production – from developing and casting, to assembling the crew and approving the final content.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Master wordsmith Deon Meyer, whose multiple-award-winning crime novels have been translated into more than 20 languages, with millions of copies sold worldwide, serves as a supervising screenwriter and co-producer; British writer Robert Thorogood (<em>Death in Paradise</em>) is the showrunner. The team of South African writers on the project includes the accomplished Mitchell&#8217;s Plain playwright, screenwriter and director Amy Jephta (<em>Die Ellen Pakkies Story</em>) as well as local writer/directors Kelsey Egen and Jozua Malherbe.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">A talented local and international cast is on the bill for the six-part miniseries, some of which include Ed Stoppard, Rolanda Marais, James Alexander and Thapelo Mokoena. More details about their roles and additional credits will be announced at a later stage.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><em>Trackers</em> will make its debut on M-Net 101 in October 2019 and will also be available on MultiChoice&#8217;s popular on-demand service, Showmax. The six-part drama series is produced by UK Production Company Three River Studios as well as South Africa&#8217;s Scene 23.</p>

Ja, kolonel Piet van der Bijl en sy span is terug vir nog ’n reeks!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><em>Die Byl</em> vertel die verhaal van kolonel Piet van der Bijl, ’n briljante speurder wat spesialiseer in die vastrek van reeksmoordenaars. Sy hele wese is ingestel op die detail van die lewe en die stukke van die legkaart wat nie altyd wil pas nie. Sy persoonlike verhoudings ly egter onder sy werkywer, maar hy sal enigiets vir die mense na aan sy hart doen.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Dit is vyf jaar sedert ons Byl, gespeel deur Waldemar Schultz en sy span leer ken het. Byl is steeds bekend as ’n super-speurder, maar hy was egter die rede hoekom kaptein Juan Stuurman, deur Marvin-Lee Beukes, uit die eenheid bedank het. Byl se verhouding met Nicki Swanepoel soos gespeel deur Milan Murray, het verbrokkel ná hulle vir ’n tyd lank saam gebly het. Byl en generaal Neels van As, gespeel deur Tertius Meintjes, het die strydbyl begrawe, maar nie vir lank nie…</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">Ellie Bonthuys, vertolk deur Barbara Marié Immelman het haar dae as sensasie-joernalis vaarwel geroep en is deesdae ’n woordvoerder die SAPS. Die span se kantore, die ondervragingslokaal en laboratorium het ’n gedaanteverwisseling ondergaan. Dr. Fritz Barnard, soos gespeel deur Eric Nobbs, het ’n nuwe assistent, Dr. Shani van Rooi, deur Trudy van Rooy, en kaptein Lena Evans, deur Lika Berning, is intussen getroud en is ma van ’n jong seun. Carien van der Bijl, gespeel deur Rolanda Marais, Byl se eksvrou, maak ook onverwags haar verskyning.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In die tweede reeks van Die Byl is daar weer ’n rits sake, een in elke episode, wat opgelos word, maar hierdie keer is daar ook ’n paar deurlopende storielyne wat kykers vasgenael gaan hou. Byl word toenemend emosioneel en fisies gekonfronteer wanneer sy span die teiken word van ’n reeks onverklaarbare en onstellende gebeurtenisse.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Die reeks is geskryf deur Leon Kruger, Hein Eksteen en Anton Treurnicht en die regisseurs is Quentin Krog, Liezl Spies en Leon Kruger. Die reeks word deur Marche Media vervaardig. Ander bekendes wat in die dertien episodes gesien gaan word, is Wilhelm van der Walt, Jody Abrahams, Marlo Minnaar, Jana Kruger, Geon Nel, Marius Weyers, Stiaan Smith, Cintaine Schutte, De Klerk Oelofse, Illse Roos en Denise Newman.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><em> Die Byl</em> Seisoen 2, is vanaf Julie op Showmax beskikbaar, en sal later vanjaar op kykNet uigesaai word.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Nuwe Olwagen film word vrygestel na die sukses van <em>Kanarie</em>!</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Christiaan Olwagen se derde vollengte film, <em>Die seemeeu</em>, word op 5 April by fliekteaters landswyd vrygestel. Van dieselfde kreatiewe span, met &#8216;n geselskap van teater-reuse, en die weghol sukses van<em> Kanarie</em> in 2018, beloof <em>Die seemeeu </em>om nie teleur te stel nie.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mr8HTakKS8U&#038;t=4s">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mr8HTakKS8U&amp;t=4s</a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Olwagen neem dié klassieke teaterstuk deur Anton Tsjechof en verplaas dit na Suid-Afrika in die 1990&#8217;s, bykans 100 jaar nadat dit geskryf is. Wat merkwaardig is, is dat die karakters uiters gemaklik in hierdie nuwe tydgleuf en omgewing bestaan, amper asof hulle geskryf is met die moontlikheid van só &#8216;n verplasing in gedagte.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Elkeen van Tsjechof se volronde karakters wroeg met hulle eie vrese, verlange, twyfel en frustrasies, wat natuurlik as gevolg van hulle eie tedoen is. Ons ontmoet die teater diva Irene, vertolk deur immergewilde Sandra Prinsloo, wie sukkel om gewoond te raak aan streeksrade wat nie meer bestaan nie en kunstefeeste wat haar loopbaan se voorland is. Haar sieklike ouer broer, Piet, vertolk deur akteur legende Marius Weyers, wens hy het meer kanse gevat in sy lewe.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Die onsekere, verlore en vergete seun, Konstant, word gespeel deur Albert Pretorius, wie net sy ma se aandag en goedkeuring soek. Die naïwe aspirerende aktrise Nina, met Rolanda Marais in die rolverdeling, wil wegkom uit die kloue van haar ouers en die klein dorpie waar sy woon en weet nie wat om te doen wanneer sy die geleentheid kry nie. Die immer-teneergedrukte Masha, vertolk deur Cintaine Schutte, handhaaf &#8216;n liefdesdriehoek, terwyl die opgewekte filosoof Dr Eugene, gespeel deur Gerben Kamper, alles van &#8216;n afstand waarneem. Verder vind ons die onafgewerkte plaasbestuurder Elias, met Deon Lotz in die rol, sy onderdanige vrou Paulina, gespeel deur Martelize Kolver, asook die armoedige onderwyser Simon, gespeel deur Geon Nel en ‘n bekende skrywer Boors, met Alyzzander Fourie in hierdie rol.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Elkeen van die karakters dra by tot die gevoel van gevangenheid wat die vakansie op die familieplaas onder &#8216;n vergrootglas bring. Olwagen se unieke styl wat buitengewone lang tonele insluit &#8211; &#8216;n tegniek vervolmaak deur kinematograaf Chris Vermaak &#8211; dra by tot die suksesvolle verplasing van hierdie teaterstuk na film, een honderd jaar later, aan die ander kant van die wêreld.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><em>Die Seemeeu</em> is op ligging geskiet in Hermanus in Mei 2017 en deur <em>Marche Media</em> vervaardig. Rocco Pool behartig die stelontwerp en Mariechen Vosloo is verantwoordelik vir die kostuums, terwyl Mari Conradie vir grimering sorg.</p>

					<description><![CDATA[<p>Lokprent van nuwe SA Film, dra Kragtige Boodskap.</p>
<p>The post <a href="https://stageandscreen.co.za/archives/big-screen-archives/poppie-nongena-2/">Poppie Nongena, Releases 31 January 2020</a> appeared first on <a href="https://stageandscreen.co.za">Stage and Screen</a>.</p>
]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Die lokprent vir die langverwagte erfenisrolprent, <em>Poppie Nongena<strong>,</strong></em> is amptelik uitgereik. Die fliek, met sy wortels stewig geanker in die Suid-Afrikaanse geskiedenis, is met twaalf toekennings bekroon by die onlangse kykNET Silwerskermrolprentfees. Dit is gegrond op Elsa Joubert se roman <em>Die swerfjare van Poppie Nongena, </em>en word op 31 Januarie 2020 landswyd in rolprentteaters vrygestel.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><em> </em></strong><em>Poppie Nongena</em> vertel die verhaal van ‘n Afrikaans sprekend Xhosa ma se  stryd om stabiliteit vir haar gesin te verseker in ‘n tydperk van buitengewone onrus in Suid-Afrika. Dis ‘n era waarin swart vroue deur arrestasies, boetes en gedwonge verwyderings hulle huise moes verlaat om in afgeleë gebiede, die sg. “swart tuislande”, te gaan hervestig. Wanneer haar man, Stone, te siek word om te werk, word Poppie volgens die wet beskou as ‘n “onwettige” inwoner in haar eie land.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Clementine Mosimane, wat die hoofrol vertolk en aangewys is as beste aktrise tydens die Silwerskermfees, voel dat die fliek ‘n belangrike boodskap oordra. Die aktrise Anna-Mart van der Merwe, wat ook in die rolprent te sien is, stem saam. “Die plaag van geslagsgeweld skreeu ten hemele! Dis tyd dat ons ook na ons eie optrede  teenoor mense met wie ons daagliks interaksie het, kyk. Omhels en aanvaar ek ander soos wat ek wil hê hulle moet met my doen?” het Van der Merwe gesê.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><em>Poppie Nongena </em>is ‘n diep persoonlike verhaal wat uit ‘n vroue perspektief vertel word. Die kinematograaf Vicci Turpin voel sterk oor die dringendheid rondom vroueregte in Suid-Afrika. Helena Spring het haarself daartoe verbind om ‘n verskil te maak.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Clementime Mosimane speel die rol van Poppie, met Anna-Mart van der Merwe, veteraan Chris, Rolanda Marais, Dawid Minnaar en Lida Botha. Nomsa Nene wat wyd geloof is vir haar uitstekende vertolking van Poppie in die internasionale verhoogproduksie, speel die rol van Poppie se ma.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Die bekroonde draaiboekskrywer en regisseur Christiaan Olwagen se vorige werk sluit die hoogs aangeskrewe rolprente <em>Johnny is nie dood nie, Die Seemeeu</em> en <em>Kanarie </em>in<em>. </em></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Joubert se roman, wat beskou is as baanbrekerswerk, is drie maal herdruk binne die eerste vier maande na publikasie, en is sedertdien in dertien tale vertaal. Dis met talle plaaslike en internasionale toekennings bekroon.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><em>Poppie Nongena</em> is  vervaardig met die ondersteuning van KykNET, M-Net, Marche Media, die Departement van Handel en Nywerheid en Arco Venture Capital.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Die roman was op 15 Oktober 2019 hervrygestel in beide Afrikaans en  Engels ter viering van die rolprent se bekendstelling.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Van Sepie Feeks, tot Silwerdoek Liefling.</strong></p>
<p>deur Louw Mulder</p>
<p><a href="http://www.stageandscreen.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/Rolanda.png"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-8116" src="http://www.stageandscreen.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/Rolanda-300x337.png" alt="Rolanda Marais" width="223" height="250" /></a>In ‘n Netwerk24-artikel wat op 16 Junie 2016 deur Fanie Cronje geskryf is, is daar na Stefanie Malherbe as die ‘Feeks van reeks’ verwys. Ek onthou hierdie karakter nog van die tyd toe <em>Binnelanders</em> ‘n dramareeks op M-Net was.  Stefanie, die ontvangsdame van Dokter Zieg Combrink se praktyk, was die minnares van haar baas, en so het juffrou Malherbe baie onpopulêr onder die Binnelanders geword. Stefanie was vir amper sewe jaar deur Rolanda Marais gespeel, van die begin af in 2005 tot laat in 2011.</p>
<p>Tydens my onderhoud met Rolanda het ek agtergekom dat haar fokus en talente op haar menswees as ma en as kunstenaar geplaas word en dat hierdie veelsydige aktrise maar min woorde vir joernaliste het.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.stageandscreen.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/Rolanda-2.png"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignleft wp-image-8143" src="http://www.stageandscreen.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/Rolanda-2-300x293.png" alt="Rolanda Marais as Stefanie Malherbe in Binnelanders" width="307" height="300" /></a>Vir Rolanda, bied ‘n sepie in vandag se tye aan akteurs ‘n stabiele inkomste wat volgens haar maar skaars is in die industrie, wat meestal baie onseker en sporadies kan wees. Maar haar rol in hierdie sepie, <em>Binnelanders, </em>het vir haar ‘n baie dieper betekenis as die vaste salaris. “Ek het ‘n <em>household</em> naam geraak. Om by <em>Binnelanders </em>destyds aan te sluit, was ‘n loopbaan besluit wat ek gemaak het. Ek het in die Kaap gebly en besef dat dit ‘n goeie stap sal wees om beter bekend te word onder die Afrikaanssprekende gehore,” het sy met my gedeel.</p>
<p>“My tyd by <em>Binnelanders</em> het my geleer om op te <em>square</em>, en ‘n kamerabewustheid te hê,” het Rolanda vertel. “Ek kan nie onthou wat my gunsteling toneel was nie, maar ek het dit regtig geniet om met die mense daar te werk, voor en agter die kameras,” vertel sy gretig, maar met min woorde. “Ek het van my beste, lewenslange vriende daar ontmoet. As mens so intiem saam met ander mense werk, leer ken jy die mooiste en slegste van &#8216;n persoon. Jy raak soos family. Dis baie spesiaal.”</p>
<p><a href="http://www.stageandscreen.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/Rolanda-3.png"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-8144" src="http://www.stageandscreen.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/Rolanda-3-300x296.png" alt="Rolanda Marais as Stefanie Malherbe in Binnelanders" width="304" height="300" /></a>Alhoewel sy nie baie gesê het nie, was dit tog moontlik vir my om baie duidelik tussen die lyne te lees hoeveel passie Rolanda Marais het vir wat sy doen. Toe ek haar vra hoekom sy by <em>Binnelanders</em> weg is, het hierdie liefde wat sy vir toneelspel het, weer duidelik geraak: “Ek geniet dit om verskeie karakters te vertolk. Dit is uitdagend en stimulerend om met elke projek in &#8216;n nuwe karakter se kop te klim. By <em>Binnelanders,</em> om dieselfde rol jaar in en uit te speel was nie ideaal nie.”</p>
<p>Na haar ervaring by <em>Binnelanders</em>, het ons vir Rolanda in vele ander televisiereekse gesien, onder andere <em>Vlug na Egipte</em>, <em>High Flyers</em>, en ook die kykNET-reeks, <em>Waterfront</em>, waar sy die ma van Edwin van der Walt se karakter vertolk het. Op die silwerdoek, het sy haar talente uitgeleef in speelfilms soos <em>Wolwedans in die Skemer</em>, <em>Ballade vir ‘n Enkeling, Freestate </em>en <em>Bloodline</em>. Vele ander bydrae tot teater en die televisie word nog op Rolanda se resumé gesien. Maar vir nou, kan ons uitsien na Rolanda Marais se rol in ‘n opkomende film, met die titel, <em>Die Seemeeu.  </em></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong> </strong><strong>Aan Binnelanders vir julle 3000ste Episode:</strong></p>
<blockquote><p><em>“Keep on Keepin’ On.  Julle Maak Mooi.” &#8211; Rolanda Marais.</em></p></blockquote>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Deur Jaco Lotriet</p>
<p><strong>Falling in love is something Magical. Something you can’t control. It just happens.</strong></p>
<p><strong><em> </em></strong>The year is 1979. The milieu, Apartheid South Africa, centred in the picturesque eastern Free State. On a dusty rural road between Memel and Newcastle, set amongst beautiful rolling green hills in the background, we meet open minded Afrikaner girl and law student, Jeanette. Here, during a random act of kindness, a chance meeting with an attractive Indian man Ravi, sets the scene which unfolds into an endearing story that sparks a forbidden love affair with dire consequences. This is the story of feature film, Free State.</p>
<figure id="attachment_3236" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-3236" style="width: 290px" class="wp-caption alignleft"><a href="http://www.stageandscreen.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/Free-State-r2.png"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="wp-image-3236 size-medium" src="http://www.stageandscreen.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/Free-State-r2-290x300.png" alt="Andrew Govender and Nicola Breytenbach during the Premiere of Free State" width="290" height="300" /></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-3236" class="wp-caption-text">Andrew Govender and Nicola Breytenbach during the Premiere of Free State</figcaption></figure>
<p>Initially the movie poster, followed by the opening credits of the film, struck a somewhat dissonant chord. The striking placard, adorned in bright golden colours, somehow conjured up images of a Bollywood production but in sharp contrast, the opening credits displayed the words ‘<em>1979, Apartheid South Africa</em>’. My heart sank and I swallowed hard, as my mind started to feel dazed and confused. How would the producers of this film manage to merge a downplayed apartheid theme with the vibrancy of a Bollywood production?</p>
<p>The answer is quite simple. They don’t. While the apartheid theme is crucial to the thread of the story, it is a continuing undertone, rather than the main theme. A credible team of Indian producers from Indian production company <em>Parnam Entertainment</em>, together with film team <em>Utkarsh Entertainment,</em> under the able leadership of producer Rajiv Terwadkar, collaborated with South Africa’s <em>Bosbok Ses Films</em> to bring this movie to life. Astounding, but be under no illusions – this is not a Bollywood film.</p>
<p>Three worlds-apart families are portrayed in Free State; each very divergent in their cultural nature and yet we find a unique South African authenticity to them that is relatable, forming a cohesiveness within the storyline. Worthy of mention are the subtleties of two different cultures, Indian and Afrikaner, brought to the fore by the cunning use of humour that elicits an outburst of occasional laughter from the audience. The predicament of the parent-child relationship is highlighted within the families when they are confronted by the ripple effect of the two characters’ interracial love for each other.</p>

<p>Multi-award winning Sallas de Jager, wrote and directed the film that stars accomplished, award-winning actors to the likes of Leleti Khumalo of <em>Sarafina</em> fame, Deon Lotz, who starred in <em>Roepman</em> and <em>Skoonheid </em>and Paul Eihlers from <em>Die Ontwaking</em>. <em>Ballade vir ‘n Enkeling </em> and <em>Wolwedans in die Skemer’</em>s Rolanda Marais also makes her appearance in Free State alongside Hemali Juta Pillay, who featured in a supporting role on U.S. TV series <em>Homeland </em>and Bollywood star Mangesh Desai, who makes his S.A. debut performance.</p>
<p>These are but a few actors in the ensemble cast that contribute substantially to the intricately constructed storyline, supporting the main characters. Jeanette is played by former supermodel Nicola Breytenbach and former Mr. South Africa and <em>Top Billing</em> presenter, Andrew Govender, steps into the shoes of Ravi.</p>
<p>The story’s plot points are carefully interwoven into cultural expectations. There is however, nothing that appears on-screen that suggests hatred between races, apart from the defiantly confrontational security police of the day that merely serves as a sub-diversion. The love scenes between Jeannette and Ravi could be considered as being implied, rather than passionate and by no means repetitive… yet one senses the electrifying, mutual adoration they feel for each other, displayed beautifully on screen.</p>
<figure id="attachment_3235" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-3235" style="width: 375px" class="wp-caption alignleft"><a href="http://www.stageandscreen.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/Free-State-r1.png"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="wp-image-3235" src="http://www.stageandscreen.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/Free-State-r1-300x242.png" alt="Rajiv Terwadkar, Producer, Andrew Govender, Nicola Breytenbach and Tom Marais, cinematographer of Free State" width="375" height="302" /></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-3235" class="wp-caption-text">Rajiv Terwadkar, Producer, Andrew Govender, Nicola Breytenbach and Tom Marais, cinematographer of Free State</figcaption></figure>
<p>Breytenbach’s portrayal of Jeanette is aesthetically pleasing. Her charm and beauty commands a screen presence that leaves your eyes fixated on her. She seems to effortlessly carry the picture through her calm and elegant demeanour. Equally pleasing on the eye is Govender, whose almost naïve and boy-like appeal captivates the audience right from his first intro. His sincere, selfless and soft-spoken nature is reassuring and comforting, maybe even too much so. He feels like a close friend. Together, the individual portrayals of their respective characters culminates into a blossoming love that transcends the sanctions imposed by society, governments, religion and even family. This is no cheesy sweet romantic love story, as the intriguing real life elements of modern South Africa are captured in the blind, anticipating minds of the movie viewer.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Family, however, is key to this heart-warming tale.  A well deserving and justified nod needs to go to Deon Lotz as the reverend Gideon, Jeanette’s father. In recent months, Lotz showcased his talent in features like <em>Faan se trein, ‘n Pawpaw vir my Darling </em>and <em>Mandela, Long Walk to Freedom. </em>Together with Ravi’s nagging, but equally doting mother, Chatura, interpreted by Hemali Juta Pillay, both Lotz and Juta embodied the unconditional lovingness, compassion and care that family is all about. This aspect enhances the relatable nature of Free State even further, especially in a South African context.</p>
<p>No picture of this scope would be complete without certain behind-the-scenes contributions of the production team. Of particular mention is multiple SAMA nominee and musician Dawie de Jager, whose score was identifiable through its staccato inspired compositions and arrangements. Excerpts from the classic tune <em>Flower Duet</em> from <em>Léo Delibes’</em> 1883 opera <em>Lakmé</em>, lent a flowing, consoling touch to the film. Cinematographer Tom Marais, together with Production Designer Waldemar Coetsee and line producer Danie Bester, all accredited SAFTA winners, have managed to showcase one of the most beautiful parts of our country, making the viewer feel all the more proud, knowing this film’s exposure is so expansive on the international arena.  Accolades for Free State include the 13<sup>th</sup> Chennai International Film Festival, Pan African Film Festival held in Los Angeles, U.S.A, Luxor African Film Festival, with an ever growing list.</p>
<p>This Shakespearean-inspired tragedy of undying love certainly deserves all the raves and reviews that will come its way and will leave you feeling inspired.</p>
<p>Free State is a proudly kykNet film releasing nationally, on Freedom Day, 27 April 2016.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Bekendes bring nuwe lewe vir die bekende treffers, van Ballade vir &#8216;n Enkeling</strong></p>
<p>Vanaf 20 Maart 2015 kan Suid-Afrikaners weer die nostalgie agter Ballade vir ’n Enkeling herleef nes in die jare tagtig &#8211; dié keer op die grootskerm met ’n nuwe en vars benadering tot hierdie legendariese storie.</p>
<p>Bekende Suid-Afrikaanse akteurs soos Donnalee Roberts, Rolanda Marais, Armand Aucamp en Jacques Bessenger, asook nuwelinge Christia Visser, Edwin van Jaarsveld, Luan Jacobs, Miles Petzer en ander het saam met The Film Factory se gesoute filmspan ‘n nuwe baadjie vir die ikoniese TV-reeks aangetrek.  </p>
<p>Hierdie treffer-reeks, wat in 1987 kykrekords laat spat het, se storie word nou weer vertel – dié slag onder leiding van die knap jong regisseur, Quentin Krog.</p>
<p>Krog was reeds betrokke by baie van Suid-Afrika se voorste film-, televisie- en teater-projekte. Sy onlangse optredes as rolprentakteur sluit in Blitzpatrollie, asook kykNET se dramareekse Donkerland, Vloeksteen en Boland Moorde, asook Swartwater (SABC) en die kykNET-kortfilm Buurtwag. Sy mees onlangse reeks as regisseur was die TV-reeks Sterlopers.</p>
<p>Ballade vir ‘n Enkeling word ook onthou vir die treffertemas Voshaarnooi, geskryf deur Louis van Rensburg en Ballade vir ‘n Enkeling, geskryf deur Richard van der Westhuizen. Louis en Richard het ook saam gewerk aan die klankbaan vir hierdie reeks wat goue status bereik het.</p>
<p>Nou, in 2015,word hierdie treffers in ‘n nuwe gedaante aangebied deur Joshua na die Reën en Die Heuwels Fantasties. Joshua na die Reën, met sy vars en unieke klank, is verantwoordelik vir ‘n nuwe weergawe vanVoshaarnooi;terwyl Die Heuwels Fantasties hul eie klank aan Ballade vir ‘n Enkeling gee.Voshaarnooi se enkelsnit tref radiostasies op 29 Januarie 2015 en sal gevolg word deur die uitreiking van die musiekvideo eksklusief op Jukebox kykNET 146 op 21 Februarie 2015. Ballade vir ‘n Enkeling se enkelsnit word ook gedurende Februarie 2015 uitgereik met die opvolg-video wat vroeg in Maart gewys sal word.</p>
<p>“Toe Ballade vir ‘n Enkeling destyds op televisie vertoon is, was ek nog &#8216;n kleuter, maar die belangstelling in die reeks van ons ouers se kant af het oorgespoel na ons toe. Ek onthou vaagweg waaroor die storie gegaan het, maar wat ek soos gister onthou is die tydlose musiek wat die reeks uniek gemaak het. Dit is &#8216;n voorreg en eer dat die span agter Ballade vir ‘n Enkeling my hierdie geleentheid gegee het om Voshaarnooi te kan sing.” Joshua na die Reȅn</p>
<p>“Ballade vir ‘n Enkeling is ‘n classic! Dis ‘n song wat ons almal ken. Dis ‘n eer om die kans te kry om so iets aan te pak. Ek wonder wat Richard gaan sê…” – Hunter Kennedy – Die Heuwels Fantasties</p>
<p>Ballade vir ’n Enkeling is ‘n romantiese speurverhaal en sal die nostalgie uit die tagtigerjare weer opnuut laat opvlam, maar gaan dié keer ook ‘n nuwe geslag betrek. Die geheimsinnigheid, gekoppel aan die liefdesverhaal, sal elkeen wat daarna kyk van voor af betower. Niemand sal onaangeraak hier uitstap nie.</p>
<p>Die storie en die draaiboek is geskryf deur Leon van Nierop en is vervaardig deur Danie Bester van The Film Factory met die bekroonde kinematograaf Tom Marais agter die kamera.</p>
<p>Die roman, wat ook deur Leon van Nierop geskryf is en deur Tafelberg Uitgewers uitgegee is, is reeds vanaf Augustus 2014 op die rakke.</p>
<p>Ballade vir ‘n Enkeling word plaaslik op 20 Maart 2015 op die groot skerm uitgereik. Ster Kinekor Entertainment is die verspreiders.</p>
