Cape Winelands Film Festival, South Africa, 14th – 24th March
Do you like your film festivals to come accompanied by a wine tasting, a cooking demonstration, and some live entertainment? Perhaps catch a glimpse of the odd celebrity mingling amongst the festival goers? Then the Cape Winelands Festival in Stellenbosch, Western Cape of South Africa, could be just the festival for you. A ten day long celebration of South African film plus the best of international cinema set in a mediterranean climate in the heart of South Africa’s main wine region. ÉCU is proud to be sending The Happy Housewife, April Chill, Stanley Pickle, Paths of Hate and Salam Rugby to this exciting festival which also promises a host of tributes and symposia alongside all the other attractions already mentioned. One almost wonders how they’ll find time to fit in any film screenings!
