Ten Years After: Contemporary South African Cinema

Ten years after the end of apartheid in South Africa, a group of new cinematic visionaries have emerged in the country. Not content to settle for the work of outsiders representing their struggle on film, South Africans have begun to find their own voice. This new voice comes largely through documentary works which reflect on the ever-growing crises of crime and AIDS, but also films which celebrate the country’s unique and influential music. This series is presented in conjunction with the American Repertory Theatre’s South African Festival which runs through January 2005.
