SAFF Presents: Valley of a Thousand Hills Set in

SAFF Presents: Valley of a Thousand Hills

Set in a traditional, patriarchal community of Kwa-Zulu Natal, Nosipho and Thenjiwe are robust and modern women, whose passionate (and secret) same-sex relationship inevitably leads to conflict.

While Nosipho is forced to marry a man, Thenjiwe is banished to stay with a sangoma or traditional healer in order to exorcise her “demons”.

Of course, we can't give the whole film away... you'll have to watch to find out how it ends...

Award-Winning 1960 shines a light on apartheid-era suffering.

Lindi, a retired singer (inspired by Miriam Makeba) looks back at her life when the remains of a murdered apartheid-era policeman, Kobus, turn up 60 years after the massacre in Sharpeville. But how much will Lindi reveal about what happened to Kobus?

1960 humanizes the suffering of the time, making it both powerful and captivating.

DID YOU KNOW....

The Kinetoscope, a one-person motion picture box, invented by Thomas Edison, was a box in which people could see a moving image. The first Kinetoscopes in South Africa were opened to the public on 19 April 1895 in Herwoods Arcade in Johannesburg - then a small town only nine years old.
In fact, South Africa was one of the FIRST countries in the world to see and hear sound motion pictures.

Can you imagine watching a movie like that? How times have changed!
