Gemeenskapsvertoning | Community Screening: Finding Optel

Community Screenings | Gemeenskapsvertonings

Die Silwerskermfees eerbiedig sy verbintenis om gehore te ontwikkel deur die fees se reikwydte in en rondom Kaapstad uit te brei en kieskeurig speelfilms aan gemeenskappe te vertoon. Dikwels is die verkose films geïnspireer deur, gebaseer op, of selfs vervaardig in die gekose gemeenskappe - 'n manier vir die fees om aan die mense terug te gee.

The Silwerskerm Festival honours its commitment to develop audiences by extending the festival's reach to in and around Cape Town by screening curated feature films to communities. Often the films selected have been informed by, inspired by or even produced in the chosen communities, a way for the festival to give back to the people.

Die soektog krap onverwags ou wonde oop wanneer Claire op leidrade afkom wat met haar ouer broer, Jonah, se verdwyning verband hou. Hy word al nege jare lank vermis. Deur vreemde omstandighede en nuuskierige bure, raak die twee sake vervleg. Claire se pa, John, is bekommerd dat sy haarself in gevaar stel.

This search unexpectedly opens old wounds when Claire finds clues relating to her older brother, Jonah, who disappeared nine years ago. Through bizarre encounters and quirky neighbours, the two cases intertwine. Claire’s father, John, fears that she is putting herself in danger. He attempts to hinder her investigations, but she remains undaunted. Claire must journey through grief and hope to find Optel and uncover the truth behind Jonah’s disappearance.
