THE FILMS THAT MADE MEKoyaanisqatsid. Godfrey Reggio, United States, 1982 20 JULY 09:00 SUNCOAST BA spotlight on five classicfilms that have inspired thefilmmaking career of SouthAfrican director, Jahmil XTQubeka.Koyaanisqatsi is a movie that entirely abandons the conventional notion of a plot. Consistingsimply of a collection of beautifully photographed scenes, the film’s subject matter has ahighly environmental theme but any sense of narrative is provided exclusively by associationsmade by the viewer. Set to a soundtrack by Philip Glass, the film opens on ancient nativeAmerican cave drawings, with the chant ‘Koyaanisqatsi’ – a Hopi term for ‘life out of balance’ –constantly being repeated. The film progresses from purely natural environments to nature asaffected by man, and finally to man’s own artificially-constructed environment.English, 86 minMapantsulad. Oliver Schmitz, South Africa, United19 JULY 09:00 SUNCOAST BKingdom, 1987This South African classic from master director Oliver Schmitz stars Thomas Mogotlane asPanic, a small-time thief in Apartheid-era South Africa who spends the greater part of hislife in jail, where he refuses to knuckle under to the racially motivated sadism of his whitecaptors. Inevitably, Panic becomes caught up in the growing anti-apartheid struggle andhas to choose between individual gain and a united stand against the system. Co-writtenby Schmitz and Mogotlane, Mapantsula is both a haunting portrait of an individualinextricably caught up in a social system as well as a devastating study of the system itself.English, Zulu, Southern Sotho and Afrikaans with English subtitles, 104 minMidnight Cowboyd.
