On April 28, 1997, Morné and Celeste Nurse's firstborn was born - a baby girl they named Zephany. Three days later, that baby disappeared from her crib. They continued to search for her for 17 years after her second daughter, Cassidy, went to a new school in 2015 and met someone who looked like her. DNA tests have shown that she is their lost daughter. Zephany, who grew up as Miché Solomon, was taken to a place of safe custody and the woman she had known as her all her life was arrested and eventually sent to prison. However, Miché chose to stay with her abductor and not by her biological parents. This documentary tells a moving story of hope and loss

Gripped by a fear of drought, 'SCENES FROM A DRY CITY' uses the lens of water to reveal cracks in Cape Town's complex social fabric.

A meditative journey through one of South Africa's largest townships Umlazi, its inhabitants lives shaped by their proximity to Africa's busiest port Durban

At the frontier of unprecedented social change Miranda, Mpumi, Martin and Karabo delicately balance the traditional views of their childhood with the western consumerism that rules their professional lives, selecting and discarding elements from each world to forge a new legacy for their descendants.

Container makes visible the 'invisiblized' bodies enabling our consumer society. Confronting slavery through an ever transforming shipping container, the past becomes the present, the invisible become visible. We witness the shards of society: the ghosts of the past and living spectres of the modern world.

"The Silent Form" is a collaboration between sculptor Dylan Lewis and filmmaker Simon Wood that occupies the space between art and documentary.
