Food for thought.

@MlunguWamFilm (2021) by Jenna Bass is not a traditional horror film where the monster materialises in non-human form; it's a horror about the South African social system where some South Africans have the certainty of a literal sheltered life, 1/11

not only because Mavis would be without a home if she reveals that her madam is dead, but because we live in a society where the sons can abandon their ailing mother, instead of being close enough to know the truth. 11/11

Zimbabwean filmmaker and novelist, Tsitsi Dangaremga, has been arrested in Harare. Put pressure on your government to put pressure on her government to stop arresting people for objecting to their governance. That is not subversive, it is a democratic right.

Hallo Screen Watchers! You’d think #lockdown has us watching a lot of film and TV, but surprisingly not. 😳 We do finally have our thoughts on one of the most recent SA releases: #bloodandwaternetflix 1/15

We expected stronger, more nuanced, visual storytelling from Gambit Films based on their previous projects (Noem My Skollie; Nommer 37), but maybe Netflix requirements and international pressure contributed to the way the story has been told. 14/15
