Unfettered by politics, guilt or earnestness, Bunny Chow is a South African film which follows the raucous weekend journey of three stand up comedians.
Egos run high as Kags, an arrogant womaniser, Joey, a devout but conflicted Muslim, and Dave, an innocent and naive dishwasher with dreams of making it big on the comedy scene, embark on a classic South African road trip.
Their destination is Oppi Koppi , South Africa 's biggest rock festival and non-stop party, and the trio slip out of their normal lives for a few increasingly absurd days with the help of vast quantities of drugs and rampant sex. Along the way, true love is encountered and the rock festival's stages are conquered with their loose-cannon comedy. But in the course of their adventures, they get a bit more than they bargained for.
A raucous road-trip comedy that is the all more enjoyable for occupying a contemporary South African landscape, and like the culinary dish after which it is named, its delicious and filled with a diversity of ingredients.

  • Uncle Boonmee: Interview with Apichatpong Weerasethakul

    Winner of the Palme d’Or at this year’s Cannes festival, Apichatpong Weerasethakul’s new film has the magic of a fairy tale and the simplicity of a folk tale. Wonderfully immersive, slow and dreamy, Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives centres loosely around a sick man in rural Thailand and his relatives, alive and dead.

HEADSHOT is based on a novel called “Rain Falling Up the Sky” by a well-known Thai writer, Win Lyovarin. Initially, the author did not intend to write it as a novel, but rather as a script for an indie movie forming part of a film noir project. For some reason, it did not materialise, so the writer decided to transform the script into a novel instead; or as he called it, a film noir novel.
