WHY the KHOIKHOI film festival?

KHOIKHOI peoples are First people of South Africa who have almost been erased post-1994 from South African consciousness

-      A people with the most ancient of DNA.

-      A people who created a gowas or language that can be traced to the origins of humankind.

-      A people whose cattle and wealth built South Africa.

-      A people whose ancestors were the first to KHAIMA or rose up against colonial injustices in South Africa

-      A people forgotten in a Coloured identity and the words of the Dutch aka Afrikaans.

Screenings include shorts, animation and documentary films will be followed by discussions and/or conversations with the aim to raise increased awareness and to encourage people to question the challenges faced by KHOIKHOI communities in Southern Africa.
