SCREENINGS
SAT 26 Sep 7:30pm BOOK NOW. A special screening of Gqom Nation: The Documentary, directed by Batandwa Alperstein and produced by Neo Masekwameng. The documentary explores the history, culture and spirit of gqom through the DJs, producers, dancers and cultural voices who helped shape this distinctly South African sound and its journey onto the global stage.
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.
