Kortfilms | Short Films: Trilstraat + Wag 'n bietjie
KORTFILMPROJEK – Gevestigde filmmakers | SHORT FILM PROJECT – Established filmmakers Dié kategorie wat gevestigde filmmakers befondsing en ’n geleentheid bied om hul vakmanskap ten toon te stel, is vir die derde jaar deel van die fees. ’n Voorwaarde vir deelname aan hierdie kategorie is dat die filmmakers ook minder ervare tegniese spanlede moet mentor. This category, which offers established filmmakers funding and a platform to showcase their craft at the festival, is part of the festival for the third time this year. A condition for participation in the category is that the filmmakers mentor less-experienced team members.

Hulle moet nie net hul weg huis toe vind deur die donker strate van Observatory nie, maar ook ’n manier terug na mekaar toe. On their way to their car after an evening of exciting life decisions, a couple is caught off guard, and their conflicting reactions lead to disillusionments about each other. As they navigate the dark streets of Observatory, they must find not only a way home, but a way back to each other.

Dis ’n lewe, al voel dit nie altyd so nie. Toe ’n vreemdeling hom aanstel om by sy sterwende ma se siekbed te wag, neem Lionel die werk huiwerig aan. Alleen in haar eksentrieke huis vol herinneringe begin hy ontrafel wie hierdie vrou regtig was. ’n Musikant. ’n Avonturier. Iemand wat werklik geleef het. Terwyl haar laaste ure wegtik, word Lionel gedwing om ’n vraag in die oë te kyk wat hy lank vermy het: Waarvoor wag hy nou eintlik? Lionel is a professional queuer sitter – he sits so you don’t have to: Home Affairs, the licensing office, name it and he’s there. It’s a living, if not much of a life. When a stranger hires him to wait at his dying mother’s bedside, Lionel reluctantly takes the job. Alone in her eccentric home filled with memories, he begins piecing together who this woman really was. A musician. An adventurer. Someone who actually lived. As her final hours tick away, Lionel is forced to face a question he’s been avoiding for a very long time: What exactly is he waiting for?
