Eastern Cape projects

Stories taking shape here.

A selected look at locally rooted films currently moving through pre-production or production, using material supplied by each project team for an editorial feature.

Status, not surveillance

We publish a reviewed stage and the creative story—not live schedules, private contacts or exact filming locations.

From the Eastern Cape

Project status comes from the production team and carries a review date because development and production plans can change.

Hambi

After fleeing violence at home, a 12-year-old boy journeys from Zwide to the forests of Hogsback, where a wary stray dog and a solitary woodsman help him discover a patient, practical and gentler kind of strength.
