Vaya - Official trailer 2016 - Rififi Pictures

Three people board the train bound for Johannesburg. Strangers, each on their own mission, with a simple task to complete and in search of family to help them. But when they are betrayed by the very people whose protection they sought, they find themselves trapped in the city – invisible and alone. Vaya interweaves three separate plots, that intersect and intertwine in a gripping, deeply moving and often funny narrative about struggling for survival and dignity in the city. In the first story a rural man has been promised a job, by his big city cousin. The money from the job will allow him to pay lobola back home which will change his life forever. He’s excited; his cousin is an important man, whose patronage the village has relied on for many years. To work for him is a great honour. But on arrival he discovers that the job is not quite what he thought. He is required to kill his cousin’s rival. In the second story a young man is sent to Jozi to reclaim his father’s body, only to …

5 FINGERRS FOR MARSEILLES

In the “discovery” portion of this years Toronto International Film Festival is the South African thriller FIVE FINGERS FOR MARSEILLES. Part western , part crime thriller and all badass is the film about a man returning from prison to seek peace for his hometown. The teaser for the film look fantastic and FIVE FINGERS FOR MARSEILLES will be making its world premiere at TIFF. Take a look at the breathtaking trailer ahead including the screening schedule.

FIVE FINGERS FOR MARSEILLES is the debut feature from rising South African filmmaking duo Michael Matthews and Sean Drummond.  After 7 years of research, including 5,000 miles of cross-country travel, development, and filming amidst the erratic winter weather of the Eastern Cape, this grand scale neo-western tale and impressive first feature comes to vivid life.

Apartheid South Africa: The community of Railway, attached to the remote town of Marseilles, are the victims of brutal police oppression and only the young “Five Fingers” are willing to stand up to them. Their battle is heartfelt but innocent, until hot-headed Tau kills two policemen in an act of passion. He flees, leaving his brothers and friends behind, but his action has triggered a conflict that will leave both Marseilles and the Five Fingers changed.

Twenty years later, Tau is released from prison, now a feared and brutal outlaw, “The Lion of Marseilles.” But scarred and empty, he renounces violence and returns home desiring only to reconnect with those he left behind. At first, Tau finds Marseilles seemingly at peace – the battle for freedom was won, and now the remaining Five Fingers are prominent leaders of their town.  However, after reuniting with childhood love, Lerato, and her fiery son, Sizwe, it becomes clear that Marseilles is caught in the grip of a vicious new threat and to Tau’s dismay, his childhood friends themselves may have allowed it in. When he and his loved ones become direct targets, he is reluctantly compelled to fight once and for all. Calling on partners-in-crime, both old friends and new, the Five Fingers rise again. Standing against once-allies and new enemies alike, they must put their lives at risk for the sake of Marseilles.  It’s their duty to protect it.  Even from each other.

REVIEW: When Swallows Cry

Mike van Graan’s new work, When Swallows Cry, on stage now at The Market Theatre.

Mike van Graan’s new work When Swallows Cry opened at The Market Theatre last night, to a packed house. This play was commissioned by Ibsen International, a Norwegian Theatre Company, who asked 8 playwrights from around the world to produce new works on the theme of migration and refugees.

I have always respected van Graan as a man who has his finger on the pulse, and one to never shy away from speaking out and jolting people out of comfort. WHEN SWALLOWS CRY does exactly this. Lesedi Job and her mentor Megan Willson can be proud of this, her directorial debut, with the audience riveted from beginning to end, and a cast who created believable, and disturbingly real characters.

This play, tells three separate stories on three different continents, each dealing with people in foreign countries and their violent interactions with locals. Each of these stories makes the audience uncomfortable, raising issues of privilege, xenophobia and prejudice. We hear similar stories regularly as part of news reports, we read about events like these in the papers or online weekly, sometimes more frequently, and we have become numb to the emotions they should evoke, anger, sadness, frustration.

This work takes these stories and makes them real to the audience, making the characters real, letting the characters speak for their actions, and in this wakes the audience to some of the shocking realities lived daily in our world. The beauty in this piece by Mike van Graan is that the play makes no judgement, it tells the stories and allows the characters to speak for themselves. Letting the audience judge, if they so wish.

The play stars Warren Masemola who shines in the various roles he takes on in this work, with Mpho Osei-Tutu and Christiaan Schoombie who all had their work cut out for them, playing three different characters each, often times polar opposites of the character they were portraying seconds earlier, and each with a different accent. Accents are always difficult and on the whole they were pulled off well. A simple and effective set with lighting that worked well to create three very distinct, and all equally harsh settings, also contributed strongly to this great piece of theatre.

I highly recommend WHEN SWALLOWS CRY, it raises uncomfortable questions about privilege, prejudice and violence. Seeing this play, will make me think on the people involved in the stories I hear on the news, and not just brush the report aside as something happening far away. This also left me feeling somewhat hopeless, these three stories, that impacted on individuals in such a huge and dramatic way, but in effect made very little impact to the world and humanity at large.

Beyoncé’s Black in King Features Many, Many Stars!

Beyoncé’s latest venture is a visual album/movie called Black is King. Released on streaming service Disney Plus, the film is a rough remake of 2019’s The Lion King, which featured Beyonce as well. Amidst the current social situation, such an empowering movie goes a long way toward promoting and celebrating black culture from all over the world. The film runs like a series of different music videos where you’ll see various beautiful artists from different parts of our planet coming together to create magic.

We also see Lion King’s franchise favorites such as Simba, Mufasa, Rafiki, Sarabi, Nala, and Scar. The amalgamation of these two worlds was a sight to see. For those who haven’t seen Bey’s 2019 The Lion King, you should check it out. Although Beyoncé and Jay-Z headline the whole thing, there are other artists as well that are brilliant at what they do. Given below is a list of all the artists featured on Black is King.

Beyoncé

The twenty-four-time Grammy winner dedicated this performance and album to her son, Sir. We see her in the beginning as well as the end. She is playing herself in the movie, and like before, you won’t be able to take your eyes off her.

Jay-Z

A complete act by himself, Jay-Z was seen here in ‘Mood 4 Eva’. He has always taken a backseat whenever Bey’s album is coming out and vice versa. Their relationship (ignoring the hiccups) seems like a Disney story in real life.

Rumi and Sir Carter

Blue Ivy’s siblings and younger children of the famous couple, Sir is seen at the end as Beyoncé gives her dedication, and Rumi is seen with her elder sister in “Brown Skin Girl.”

Blue Ivy Carter

Blue is Beyonce’s and JayZ’s firstborn, and is seen here on “Brown Skin Girl.” She won a BET award as well.

Tina Knowles-Lawson

She is Beyoncé’s mother and has a recurring role on the album. You will especially notice her in the background during the garden tea party.

Pharrell Williams

Again, seen in “Water” in Black is King but needs no introduction. The 13-time Grammy winner is a rapper, leader, and icon in American music.

Lupita Nyong’o

Well known for her niche roles in movies like ’12 Years a Slave’ and ‘Black Panther,’ we see her performing “Brown Skin Girl” in ‘Black is King’.

Naomi Campbell

An iconic supermodel from Britain, she is seen here in the “Brown Skin Girl” performance.

Kelly Rowland

Another performer of ‘Brown Skin Girl,’ Rowland was a member of Beyonce’s old band, Destiny’s Child.

Shatta Wale

Hailing from Ghana, Shatta Wale is a singer who is seen on “Already” and is also a Ghanaian singer.

Jessie Reyez

A Canadian musician saw him performing “Scar.”

Salatiel

Seen performing “Water,” Salatiel is from Cameroon and works as a music executive.

Lord Afrixana

A “Don’t Jealous Me” performer, he is another upcoming musician.

Wizkid

Seen performing “Brown Skin Girl” here, she is a Nigerian singer.

Adult Akech

She is a model from South Sudan and is a part of the “Brown Skin Girl” performance.

Tiwa Savage

A “Keys to the Kingdom” performer and a musician of Nigerian descent.

Mr Eazi

“Don’t Jealous Me” performer, Mr Eazi is a musician from Nigeria.

Tierra Whack

Tierra Whack is an upcoming hip hop artist from right here, the United States of America.

Yemi Alade

Yemi Alade is of Nigerian descent and a pop singer.

Busiswa

Seen here performing “My Power”, he is a musician from South Africa.

Nija

Part of the “My Power” performance, she is an American Songwriter.

Moonchild Sanelly

Seen here in “My Power,” Moonchild Sanelly is from South Africa.

Nyaniso Ntsikelemo Dzedze

Nyaniso Dzedze is a famous actor coming from South Africa.

Nandi Madida

Nandi Madida is a model from South Africa.

Warren Masemola

Warren Masemola is an Actor from South Africa.

Except for these brilliant black artists from all over the globe, we also see cameos from The Lion King members of the cast. We see JD McCrary, who voiced Young Simba, comedian Billy Eichner as Timon and Chiwetel Ejiofor as the scary Scar. If you haven’t already watched this fantastic piece of visual art, get on it right away!
