As a tribute to one of the foremost builders of the South African film industry, this year's Innibos Arts Festival will also share centre stage Nelspruit with the Jamie Uys Film Festival.
Jamie Uys was well-known and respected as one of the
most important role players in our local film industry and with
his wonderful enthusiasm for life which he shared with his audiences. He
was one of the first South African film makers to be internationally acclaimed
with his film Beautiful People, which centres around the almost human-like
behaviour of wildlife in the Kalahari and Namib deserts. The film won a Golden
Globe as Best Documentary Film in 1975.
In later years his film The
Gods must be Crazy, also received rave reviews on the international circuit. The
story revolves around Xi and his fellow bushmen and how an empty Coke bottle, dropping magically from the sky, changes their lives forever.
Other Uys favourites that will be shown during the festival are: Die Professor en die Prikkelpop, Dirkie, Beautiful People, Funny People
I & II and The Gods must be Crazy I & II.
Don't miss the fun at the Bush Bioscope where you can sit
back, relax and reminisce about good old days ...
