THE very first Cape Winelands Film Festival will take place in Stellenbosch from tomorrow to 26 April. According to festival directors Leon van der Merwe and Karen Meiring, there will be 92 films screened at the festival. The Oude Libertas Amphitheatre will serve as the festival centre, but films will also be screened at six other venues in Stellenbosch which include the Ikaya Trust Centre in Kayamandi, JC le Roux Auditorium, HB Thom Theatre, Protea Cinemas in the Neelsie and the Protea Hotel Dorpshuis. The Cape Winelands Festival is presented in association with MNET and the French Embassy. Says Leon van der Merwe, “We do not just want to give a window on world cinema, but we also want to promote, generate and stimulate audiences for film in South Africa.” Well-known artists at the festival include the Taiwanese film director Huang Yushan, and the Brazilian film director Sandra Kogut.
