Our buddies at Design Indaba are letting us have the Labia Theatre to ourselves on Saturday night, even though the Design Indaba FilmFest hasn’t even started yet. We’re giving away 30 pairs of tickets for the African premier of this powerful film. Click to see how.

The movie is Finding Hillywood, and IMBD gave it 9 out of 10. Here’s a breakdown and you can click play above to watch the trailer.

Set amongst the hills of Rwanda, FINDING HILLYWOOD chronicles one man’s road to forgiveness, his effort to heal his country, and the realization that we all must one day face our past. A unique and endearing phenomenon film about the very beginning of Rwanda’s film industry and the pioneers who bring local films to rural communities, on a giant inflatable movie screen. For most Rwandan’s this is the first time they have seen a film, let alone one in their local language, “Kinyarwanda.” Thousands of people show up to watch films in stadiums next to mass graves, and locations where horrible crimes took place during the genocide.

I don’t know how they managed to get this film, which is so hot right now. In fact, how they have managed to land some of the biggest names in the documentary film industry, is the stuff of legends. Featured in this line-up are titles like: 20 Feet from Stardom (Oscar nominated), Finding Fella (just premiered at Sundance), Cutie and the Boxer (nominated for an Oscar), and the line-up just keeps going with 10 mind-blowing Films over 10 nights at two amazing Cape Town venues (Maiden’s Cove, Clifton and The Castle of Good Hope).
