The Encounters South African International Documentary Festival takes place in Cape Town and Johannesburg from 20 to 30 June, featuring a compelling line-up of local and international films that ‘promise to spark debate, stimulate conversations, and shed new light on controversial subject matter’.
The 26th edition of Africa’s premier documentary film festival kicks off in the Mother City today, ready to showcase the best South African productions.
‘We started the festival at a time when there was almost no support for documentaries, no community, and no documentaries in the cinemas,’ says Markovitz, who recently stepped down from his role after 26 years of service as co-founder, co-director, and board member. In Mother City, the filmmakers follow activists of the Reclaim the City movement over six years. Reclaim the City started as a campaign to combat apartheid spatial planning within the City of Cape Town.
