LivingIt Ubuntu Youth Film Festival

LivingIt Ubuntu Film Festival celebrates transformation onscreen and off.

Celebrate the work of young amateur South African filmmakers at the fifth annual LivingIt Ubuntu Youth Film Festival, during the US Woordfees at Oude Libertas Arts and Culture Centre in Stellenbosch, on Sunday 13 March 2016 from 3pm to 9pm. Entry is free.

The festival will screen a series of short five-minute films produced by amateur youth and the top five competition entries will be announced. While viewing the films, attendees will be invited to write notes about personal growth, change, or their feelings about South Africa's progress (or lack thereof) and insert them into a wire phoenix with flapping wings and a three metre wingspan.

Sponsored by the National Lotteries Commission, other festival activities include interactive origami stalls, hula hooping, workshops, competitions, craft and food stalls and a poetry jam. The evening will climax with a fire ceremony complete with dancers, when the phoenix is set alight.
