DOCUMENTARIESMY AFGHANISTAN – LIFE IN THE FORBIDDEN ZONEd. Nagieb Khaja, Denmark, Norway,23 JULY 22:30 SUNCOAST A; 24 JULY 13:00 BLUE2012Danish/Afghan filmmaker Nagieb Khaja journeys to Kabul, taking with him a sports bagfull of video cameras on a mission that soon reveals itself to be far more difficult thananticipated. Nagieb’s goal is to document the ‘real’ Afghanistan. He smuggles the camerasout of the protected district which shields international journalists from the lives of theordinary civilian population and makes his way to the villages, where the inhabitantsbegin documenting their own lives. The result is a deeply authentic image of life in thebattered country. African Premiere.Danish and Pashto with English subtitles, 86 minNO BURQAS BEHIND BARSd. Nima Sarvestani, Sweden, 201223 JULY 14:30 BLUE; 26 JULY 20:15 SNEDDON;28 JULY 14:00 SNEDDONAfghan woman Sima was married at ten, and bore five children before she was twenty toan abusive husband who had already murdered another of his wives and their child. Herpunishment for fleeing? Fifteen years, along with her children, in the appalling TakharPrison in which four cells house forty women and their children. This is one of the mostrestrictive environments in the world, but here, they also need not wear the burqas thatordinarily covers Afghan women from head to toe. With nothing left to lose, we begin tosee the unique identities of strong women who would be faceless and voiceless in theirdaily lives outside. African Premiere.Dari with English subtitles, 77 minNORMAN CATHERINE CURRICULUM VITAE19 JULY 12:00 BLUE; 23 JULY 15:30 EKHAYA;d. Paulene Abrey, South Africa, 201228 JULY 18:00 EKHAYANorman Catherine Curriculum Vitae is a mix of ghoulish animation, live action and stockfootage used to bring to life the canvas of the artist’s young life. Coloured by vividimagination and a uniquely offbeat style, the film illustrates events from his formative years– such as swallowing mothballs thinking they were sweets – against a backdrop of SouthAfrican and world events. Intriguing and humourous, this is a complicated film about acomplicated man. World Premiere.English, 12 min86 34th Durban International Film Festival
ORANIAd. Tobias Lindner, Germany, SouthAfrica, 201227 JULY 13:00 SNEDDON; 28 JULY 17:00 SUNCOAST AOrania, South Africa. This reserve situated in the Northern Cape – whose 800 inhabitantsare solely white Afrikaans people – was bought in 1991. In this eye-opening documentary,German filmmaker Tobias Lindner embarks on a journey to a community that intentionallylives and works in isolation from people who are not white Afrikaners. The people ofOrania refuse to be part of the ‘Rainbow Nation’; instead seeking to preserve a ‘culturalhomeland’ where they feel secure. A provocative documentary that explores the fine linebetween self-determination and discrimination.English and Afrikaans with English subtitles, 94 minPUSSY RIOT – A PUNK PRAYERd. Maxim Pozdorovkin, Mike Lerner, 22 JULY 22:00 MUSGRAVE B; 24 JULY 17:00 BLUE;Russia, United Kingdom, 201328 JULY 22:00 SUNCOAST BIn winter 2011, in spite of months of protest, Vladimir Putin was controversially returned to theRussian presidency. In March 2012, three members of the all-female art and punk rock collectivein Moscow, Pussy Riot, were arrested and tried after performing forty seconds of the anti-Putinanthem “Mother Mary! Banish Putin!” News of the women’s arrest travelled quickly and theircase found sympathisers around the world. Mike Lerner and Maxim Pozdorovkin have created acaptivating and distressing film that dissects the way in which the Pussy Riot saga is a symptomof a broader culture clash in Putin’s Russia.
