This year’s edition of the Next Future Cinematheque will consist of two types of films: on 24 June, we will be showing the world première of the film entitled “Kadjike” by Sana Na N’hada and Luís Correia, and on 25 June, three short films by Filipa César, followed by the Portuguese première of the film “Sem flash: homenagem a Ricardo Rangel”, by Bruno Z’Graggen.

The second set of films is by the South African curator Joan Legalamitlwa, whose selection is named "Mzansi - The Reel South Africa". "Mzansi" is a South African slang word which is associated with all that is cool and with it; all that is fresh and contemporary; all that is innovative and visionary. The term can also be used to know the South Africa that has been built during 20 years of existence as a democratic country.

Mzansi – The Reel South Africa

Mzansi is a South African slang word meaning ‘South’ – usually used by the youth to refer to the country – South Africa. It is a word which is associated with all that is cool and with it; all that is fresh and contemporary; all that is innovative and visionary. The term can also be used to capture the youthfulness of the country as it only officially became the Democratic Republic of South Africa in 1994, when Nelson Mandela was inaugurated as the first black and democratically elected president of the country. The new Democracy meant cultural diversity, forgiveness, acceptance and getting along of black, white, Indian and coloured nationals. Mzansi is now in its tumultuous ‘late teens’ and a number of changes have taken place since its birth. “Mzansi – The Reel South Africa” is a ‘potluck’ of fiction, non-fiction and experimental films which cover issues of sexuality, identity, tradition, transformation and youth culture. This film programme maps the development and changes that came with the birth of the ‘rainbow nation’.  Through them, audiences will get a taste of Mzansi!
