Hello Susan Hains, where are you living?
Dear Susan, your article in the October 18 issue of The Standard struck me as having been written by someone who has been out of Harare, if not Zimbabwe for some time.
As a seasoned commentator on the arts, I was stunned that you did not know whether or not the Zimbabwe International Film Festival was still going on. I quote: “I am curious to know of the Zimbabwe International Film Festival which was started by Tsitsi Dangarembga is still in existence. It was a very good festival…”
The Zimbabwe International Film Festival happened last year and this year and received coverage in the local press and online. A quick online search will reveal that the festival still lives. As an arts critic that I respect Susan, I am disappointed that you were not aware of this and did not do your research here. Read more
Hats off to THE PSYKOZ and co.
I braced the chilly Friday night of September 12 to attend the Zimbabwe International Film Festival (ZIFF) Short Film Project Opening night in Harare. I was so curious to know what was going to be screened or rather what our own local writers, directors and actors had in store for us. What I watched was not bad at all. For me, only two movies were in a class of their own- brilliant. These are Zimbabwe The Best Country and Akakodzera Ndiani?
The Short Film Project (SFP) included a total of five films.
The movie which got most people off their seats, bursting into laughter was written by THE PSYKOZ Of Prince Edward High School and directed by Patience Gamu Tawengwa. Read more
