A Film Lover's Weekend

The Jozi Film Festival is an annual event that showcases the latest films made by South African and international filmmakers in one of Africa's most vibrant cities - Johannesburg.

The Fourth Annual Jozi Film Festival takes place this weekend at the Bioscope in the CBD from Friday through Sunday and it will present a slate of films from emerging and established filmmakers, exploring a broad range of topics in a variety of genres.

Competition categories for the Jozi Film Festival include: Best Feature Film, Best International Feature Film, Best Feature Documentary Film, Best International Documentary Feature Film, Best Short Fiction, Best International Short Fiction, Best Documentary Short, Best International Documentary Short, Best Student Film, and Audience Choice Award.



I have a couple of films on my list to check out including Children of the Light, a USA bio-documentary entry which tells the life story of Nobel Prize winner Desmond Tutu, one of the fathers of modern day South Africa.

And it's Oscars weekend too! What a great weekend for film.
