| Page 2 of 27 SA and International Short Films3 Good ThingsDir: Nimrod Geva A tortoise. A goody-two-shoes shrink. And a guy who's such a failure can't even succeed at suicide. A short, twisted road trip to the place where good intentions go bad. Very bad.
Area X Dir: Dennis Shinners Fresh from the country and new in town, trusting Paul finds his way into a bar and into the arms of gorgeous, fast-talking Marco. A wild new world has opened up to him, but is he cut out for it?
Bandages, Socks and Facial HairDir: Mária Takács Learning the swagger, the chew and the talk, a group of Hungarian lesbians spend an amusing and surprisingly fascinating afternoon getting down pat the details of being a man with the help of German instructors, a bandage, socks and a bit of liberally applied macho-styled facial hair. With tongue firmly lodged in the fake stubbled cheek this endearing short dissects gender roll-play in the spirit of revolution.
Beyond Hate CrimesDir: Musa Ngubane In South Africa hate crimes are escalating in the South African townships where violent homophobic acts against LGBTI people are causing individuals to remain in the closet out of fear. In a country with supposedly the world’s most advanced constitution that protects the rights of each individual, several organisations and a lot of brave and angry women get together to ensure that Sizakele, Salome, Lorna, Gugu, Zoliswa, Fannyann, Thokozane, Eudy and others do not become just another crime statistic. BFFDir: Lodi Matsetela Puleng is in a loving relationship with her first girlfriend, but not having seen her BFF (best-friend-forever), Chabi, for a while and feeling out of synch with their friendship, Puleng invites her over for dinner. Faced with her past and present lives over the dinner table, Puleng must reconcile her two worlds.
FarmDir: Matthew Griffiths A beautifully shot local student film. When Jan’s mother dies in a tractor accident, he places his university aspirations and his relationship with Jacques on hold to look after the farm and his father. Six month’s later, Jacques tracks Jan down and Jan’s father must reluctantly face up to his son’s sexuality – or lose another loved one.
SnakesDir: Stanimir Stoykov From South Africa’s irrepressible spinner of the gay farce is another sparkling gem. Robert Whitehead is charismatic Sheila, tele-evangelist with a difference – her brand of face cream sets you, as a Friend of Jesus, on the path to beauty in His image. Her wife, Shirley, pockets the takings and keeps Sheila titillated with her own brand of loving. When disowned son Sebastian turns up to demand some dosh (in order to become Tara), Shiela’s dysfunctional past and present collide. W-holeDir: Kali van der Merwe A work in progress, W-hole confronts us with images (surreal alien landscapes) of, and attitudes to an essential, little-seen part of our bodies.
