Featured Work
Heaven Reaches Down to Earth
2020, NARRATIVE, 10', 4:3 / 2:35.1, SESOTHO, ISIZULU & ENGLISH LANGUAGE
We find Heaven Reaches Down to Earth at a crossroads of emerging stories: queerness in Africa, the traditional expectations of men within those African cultures, and the isolation that many of us find ourselves currently dealing with, as seen through the experiences of two young men, Tau and Tumelo. The film serves as a snapshot of a moment in which Tau’s realisation of his sexual orientation acts as an accelerant that sets Tumelo on his own journey.
