Film Programme Film Programme: "Invented Histories"

at Newcastle Township Arts Festival

The Newcastle Creative presents Invented Histories, the film programme curated by Babalwa Thom for the 5th annual Newcastle Township Art Festival. The films will be screened in an open air cinema, in the home galleries that operate during the festival, as well as other site specific venues.
 
According to the curator, Invented Histories “will connect the audience with (un)familiar patterns, where alterations of feelings and knowledge arise, the audience is challenged, and the artists bear witness to evolving stories and the extraordinary human capacity to rebuild an individual identity.”
 
The Newcastle Township Arts Festival is an annual event organised by the Newcastle Creative Network in the Madadeni Township, Section 4, with the support of the Newastle Municipality. In addition to the funding by the Goethe-Institut, this year the festival is also supported by BASA. The work of the Newcatle Creative Network is made possible through the National Arts Council of South Africa Flagships Programme. More information on www.newcastlecreativenetwork.org.
