Teboho Edkins
South Africa
2011 | Digital | 0:27:50

Portrait of a pregnant South African woman expecting her second child. Throughout the entire film, her face betrays her fear of the baby succumbing to AIDS like her first-born. From frantic hope to redemptive tears, her emotions are similar to the landscape featured in the film, evolving with the seasons – a metaphor of the destiny of a continent undergoing a profound change.

October 5th - 16th 2011

We present film series focused on different countries and regions. This section intends to discover and explore different spaces and cultures with the aim to understand the specific regional, political and social circumstances, do reconstruct the emotional and intellectual spécificities of a special region or country. In this critical work we belief it's essencial to prefer films which rufuse, in its form and expression, the retake of sterotype ways of reality restituition, as an act of resistance in the actual period of "globalisation", which inclins to impose one dominating model of culture and habitutes..
