With the Oscars just past it seems fitting we bring you a movie dominate newsletter this week. Both Charles Siboto and Daniel Derksen discuss different film making thoughts; Siboto on the
idea of storytelling and how gaming is translated to movies while Derksen looks at what it takes to
create a blockbuster. Derksen also reviews the theatre for screen film
The Magistrate and the proudly SA film,
Verraaiers. Keeping it proudly local, SA's own Academy Awards equivalent; the
Jozi Film Festival winners are announced.
And talking about awards, the prestigious
Annual Fleur du Cap Theatre Awards nominees have been announced and we are happy to announce that our very own contributor
Eugene Yiga has been invited to be a member of the board! In other theatre news Michael Britton has a foot tapping time at the
Godfrey Johnson Showcase.
Motoring editor Henri Geyser reviews the much anticipated
Opel Astra OPC while travel contributor Will Smith explains the life idyllic when it comes to staying in
luxury villas in France.
New competitions this week include two ticket to the Kirstenbosch Summer Sunset Concert featuring Goldfish. We will be picking and announcing are lucky Ramfest and Skrillex winners later this week so if you haven't entered better do quick fast.
Happy Tuesday!
