Tickets for Nightscape at Design Indaba 2018 are available from Webtickets and are sold separately to the Design Indaba Conference and Simulcast. You do not need to buy tickets if you are attending the open evening on the 21st of February 2018 at 18:00, as this event, is complimentary.
While these films won’t be screened during the complimentary evening, you can still catch Five Fingers for Marseilles along with a special creators' discussion panel.
Five Fingers for Marseilles fuses western influences, from classic to spaghetti and revisionist eras, into a contemporary South African drama played in local tongue by four generations of acclaimed South African stars. The great westerns always contained socio-political threads, and Five Fingers’ loose allegory on today’s South Africa is edge-of-the-seat and starkly human.
