DI FILMFEST 2018

A gorgeous interpretation of the traditionally American Western film genre, Five Finger for Marseilles lavishly explores the stories of a small town Eastern Cape town in the kind of cinematic expression rarely seen in South African film.

Directed by Michael Matthews and written by Sean Drummond, it received a standing ovation from the Design Indaba 2018 crowd, where it was shown and followed by a Q&A with the team.

Vuyo Dabula, who gives a powerful performance in the lead role, was joined on stage by Matthews and Drummond. The team got real with audience about the challenges and the joys of bringing this film to the big screen after nearly a decade of work.
