Rosebank\u2019s Cinema Nouveau Home of Jozi Film Festival 2017 (21- 24 September 2017)<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Co-director of multi-award winning documentary TCHINDAS, Marc Serena, will be joining us for the South African premiere at 8pm on Saturday, 23 September 2017 at Rosebank\u2019s Cinema Nouveau<\/p>\n

The sixth annual Jozi Film Festival (JFF) will open this year\u2019s festival at Rosebank\u2019s Cinema Nouveau on Thursday, 21 September 2017 with the top 10 films selected from an Africa-wide search for filmmaking talent in partnership with Discovery Channel.<\/p>\n

The inaugural Discovery Channel \u201cDon\u2019t Stop Wondering\u201d competition called for African filmmakers to submit a 2 to5 minute film that showcased and celebrated unique African stories whilst capturing Discovery\u2019s ethos of sparking curiosity. From the submissions, only ten films were shortlisted and broadcast on Discovery Channel. The general public was then asked to vote for their favourite film via Discovery\u2019s website.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re so proud to have been a part of this competition\u201d, says JFF\u2019s founder and organiser, Lisa Henry. \u201cDiscovery Channel offered African filmmakers a remarkable opportunity with this competitive category and they have been a wonderful group of people to work alongside on this.\u201d<\/p>\n

As an organisation, we take pride in investing in showcasing a fusion of local and international talents on our screens. The film industry has made commendable strides and will continue to do so and we want to be instrumental in achieving more successes,\u201d says Motheo Matsau, Chief of Marketing and Sales at Ster-Kinekor Theatres.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are thrilled that co-director Marc Serena will be joining us for this South African premiere at 8pm on Saturday, 23 September at Rosebank\u2019s Cinema Nouveau,\u201d concludes<\/p>\n

The \u201cDon\u2019t Stop Wondering\u201d award carries a cash prize of $5,000.00 [approximately R 64478.00] from Discovery Channel. The winning filmmaker will be announced on Sunday, 24 September 2017 at the Jozi Film Festival Awards with John Vlismas as the Master of Ceremonies (MC). The Awards will be held at The Sheds, 1 Fox Precinct, Johannesburg CBD.<\/p>\n

TCHINDAS \u2013 SOUTH AFRICAN PREMIERE \u2013 23 SEPTEMBER 2017<\/h5>\n

In this multi-award winning documentary film from Spain, directors Marc Serena and Pablo Garcia Perez de Lara travelled to Cape Verde to explore the lives of the transsexual community in the city of Mindelo in the run up to its annual carnival. The film centres on Cape Verde’s most famous transgender activist: Tchinda Andrade.<\/p>\n

“She was the first to open the way for others to express themselves,” says Serena. “Tchinda is a natural leader.” She has been so influential that the trans community in Cape Verde are referred to as “tchindas” by locals.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt’s very special to premiere the film in South Africa with Jozi Film Festival. It gives another perspective of the continent and we hope people from Jozi will love it\u201d, said Marc.<\/p>\n
