Bio­gra­phie

Lo-Def Film Fac­to­ry, a South Afri­can artist duo of Fran­cois Knoet­ze and Amy Loui­se Wil­son, crea­tes video, col­la­ge, and VR pro­jects focu­sing on D.I.Y sto­rytel­ling. They run work­shops and work with various com­mu­ni­ties, pla­cing value on the trans­mis­si­on ide­as and lived expe­ri­ence over high pro­duc­tion values.
Rus­sel Hlongwane’s work blends art, cura­ti­on, and wri­ting, explo­ring South Afri­can heri­ta­ge and tech­no­lo­gy. His pro­ject Ifu Elim­nya­ma won the Shar­jah Film Plat­form Jury Award.
