Vimba 2.

Monde Gumede |South Africa |2025 |9Min |English, isiZulu

Set against the polished absurdity of Johannesburg’s Latitudes Art Fair, VIMBA! unfolds like a Ruben Östlund satire relocated to the cultural contradictions of contemporary South Africa. When a boozy street surfer is mistaken for a radical conceptual artist, he stumbles into an unlikely artworld hustle that spirals into an unholy trinity of class, commerce, and postcolonial confusion. A wealthy European buyer becomes enamoured with what she believes is a provocative installation of a discarded Black Label beer bottle. The curator, torn between integrity and opportunity, conspires with the accidental artist to sell the myth back to the market that created it. It’s not moral outrage that drives the film, but mischief.

VERSES MY BROTHER TAUGHT ME

Thomo Tshipinyane |South Africa |2025 |23Min |Tswana
In a struggling township, ex-convict Itumeleng is determined to rebuild his life and care for his frail, deeply religious younger brother Thapelo. Haunted by prison, community judgment, and a promise made to their late mother, he battles to stay on the right path despite financial pressure and social rejection. When attempts to earn money fail and Thapelo's health worsens, Itumeleng is forced into a moral crossroads between faith and survival. A robbery spirals into tragedy, blurring the line between punishment and redemption. Broken and consumed by guilt, Itumeleng makes a final desperate plea for divine intervention, uncertain whether he is praying to save his brother's life or his own soul.

Directed by Pretty Mothata, the film reflects on a powerful legacy and what it means today.
