On 8 June, Sunshine Cinema will be showing the directorial debut of Nhlanhla Masondo, Shwabada, about the multi-instrumentalist, historian and philosopher, Ndikho Xaba. Including rare archival footage of his early performances and accolades from some of South Africa’s greatest musical icons, this is an ode to a man whom ‘jazz’ is too small to define.
The film will be shown free on the solar powered mobile cinema at Lookout Hill in Khayelitsha from 6-9pm.
On 9 June, the second screening will showcase the film Shadow World, based on the acclaimed book by Andrew Feinstein about the global arms trade. The film masterfully breaks down the global arms trade that has shaped our century. Ever since greedy alchemists figured out how to turn blood to gold, this process has outstripped individuals and regimes, and tarnished us here in South Africa.
The film will be shown free on the solar powered mobile cinema at the Langa Quarter in Langa from 6-9pm. After the film, there will be a Q&A session with Andrew Feinstein and members of the Right to Know Campaign.
