Two women filmmakers will be in the spotlight as part of South Africa’s KwaZulu-Natal Film Commission (Kznfc) activities at the upcoming Cannes Film Market.
Kznfc had issued an open call to the industry inviting emerging filmmakers to form part of the Cannes delegation and Bonita Sithebe and Sithabile Mkhize were selected out of several applications received.
Written and directed by Sithebe, “The Valley of a Thousand Hills” tells the story of a young woman from a conservative village, who must choose between living a lie to stay the perfect Zulu daughter or risk death for true love. The film is produced by Philane Sithebe and stars Mandisa Vilakazi and Sbongokuhle Nkosi.
Satire “God’s Work,” produced by Mkhize, tells the story of four homeless friends who are caught between escaping their hardships and being swallowed up in the process. It is written and directed by Michael James, with Toni Monty as the executive producer.
