Both documentaries have been produced and directed by UCT academic Dr Siona O’Connell based at the Centre for Curating the Archive.
An Impossible Return investigates the meanings imbued in several areas of Cape Town that were subject to forced removals during apartheid. Taking a series of 40-year old photographs of Harfield Village by artist David Brown as a starting point, the documentary opens a set of questions around trauma, memory and freedom in the aftermath of oppression. Intimate documents of family life, the photographs speak of the destruction of community and the unfinished business of apartheid.
The Wynberg 7: An Intolerable Amnesia examines the role played by a group of high school students who were arrested 30 years ago and imprisoned at Pollsmoor Prison. With commentary by Mr Jimi Matthews (SABC Group Executive News and Current Affairs), Dr Iqbal Survѐ (CEO Sekunjalo Investment Group) and Mr Enver Daniels (Chief State Law Advisor), the documentary draws attention to those whose contributions to democracy and freedom in South Africa have been largely forgotten and unrecognised.
Date: Thursday, 29t October 2015
Time: 18h30 for 19h00
Venue: The Baxter Theatre, Main Road, Rondebosch, Cape Town
