Amagagu - Dreaming the New

Dreaming the New explores the lives, works and aspirations of two very different South African artists - one a young visual 'spontaneous' artist Nico Phooka and the other, a mature playwright and dramatist - Fatima Dike. We follow them through their artistic collaborations and show how these two very different art forms melt and fuse to create new forms of expression, whether through poetry, drama, music or painting. The documentary is entirely related in the first person and set against the turbulent political background in South African history. We show through personal accounts and testimonies of survival and triumph, how their experiences have shaped their lives and ultimately their approach to their works. Through the two protagonists the film explores their backgrounds, culture, belief systems and how they see themselves and their work in the greater society, and how they can contribute to its betterment while at the same time providing an insightful and profound vision for the future of South African society.





Purim

Through 'Purim: the Joyous Mystery of the Hidden and the Revealed', we view and enter the world of Purim festivities and joy for both young and old, while at the same time, explaining how these rituals serve as symbols of the hidden, deeper, spiritual meanings of Purim. This festival is not meant only to mark great moments of the past, but no less, to bring their energy and spiritual insight from the past into the present and the future. The inner meaning of Purim speaks to us of the way light and divinity Can be found even in the deepest darkness, and how joy can bring about this transformation.
