A Disparate World

Khalo on set.

Conversations on a Sunday Afternoon

French/Swahili/Zulu/English 80 Mins South Africa 2005 35mm
Directed by Khalo Matabane
Kenilwe is a struggling writer who one glorious Sunday afternoon meets Fatima. He becomes intrigued by Fatima's stories of war and exile and begins to meet her regularly.

But one day Fatima doesn't show up, and Kenilwe feels compelled to venture into Johannesburg's underbelly to find her. During his search, he meets and talks to a disparate range of characters that have lived through the hell of war and have traveled vast distances to forge a bright future.

With this intimate, politically subtle and intelligent film, Matabane introduces a fascinating genre to South African film. The film's artful blend of documentary and drama produces an absorbing insight into the reality of displacement for many of the new citizens attracted to the new South Africa.
