Outspoken | Documentary - short length | 30 minutes / 2019 | Director: José Cardoso | Country: South Africa | The documentary Outspoken explores the spoken word poetry scene in Cape Town and the impact of the InZync poetry sessions on contemporary identity politics. How do poets speak truth to power? How can we reimagine who and where we are? How do we rebuild our sense of self through the medium of poetry in post-Apartheid South Africa? And what is it about poetry that makes it such a powerful vehicle for socio-cultural transformation?
SAUTI Gifted Different Unsilenced | Documentary - short length | 26 minutes / 2019 | Director: Patrick Sapat Opips | Country: Kenya | This documentary film highlights the stories of four musicians who due to certain peculiar circumstances in their lives are prone to facing discrimination, stigmatization and marginalization. These circumstances include various types of physical disabilities (including visual impairment), religious beliefs, gender, ethnicity, and geopolitical reasons. As the title suggests, these four gifted musicians are perceived as being “different” owing to the traits outlined above. However, they choose not to be relegated to silence, but rather use their voices and music as tools to transcend prejudice and stereotypical norms.
