SCREENINGS
SAT 31 Oct 7:30pm BOOK NOW. A special halloween screening of Ryan Kruger’s cult hit Street Trash. Set in Cape Town in the year 2050, STREET TRASH imagines a future shaped by extreme economic inequality, where the middle class has disappeared and society has been divided between the ultra-rich and those left to survive on the streets.
Each evening concludes with a DJ-led afterparty, transforming the screening into a vibrant social and cultural exchange where audiences, filmmakers and creatives can connect, celebrate and share in the music and culture that surrounds the films. The programme brings cinema beyond traditional theatre spaces and into universities, cultural venues and communities across South Africa, with a vision to grow a national network of audiences, artists and storytellers.
