Girl, Taken
Director
On April 28, 1997, Morné and Celeste Nurse's firstborn was born - a baby girl they named Zephany. Three days later, that baby disappeared from her crib. They continued to search for her for 17 years after her second daughter, Cassidy, went to a new school in 2015 and met someone who looked like her. DNA tests have shown that she is their lost daughter. Zephany, who grew up as Miché Solomon, was taken to a place of safe custody and the woman she had known as her all her life was arrested and eventually sent to prison. However, Miché chose to stay with her abductor and not by her biological parents. This documentary tells a moving story of hope and loss

Sea Point Days
Director
Lying on the coast of Cape Town - South Africa's most segregated city - there is one public space where everyone does seem to come together: the Sea Point Promenade and Municipal Pools. Set between city and ocean, this beautiful strip of "everymansland" offers a quirky and often entertaining mix of class, race, gender and religion: a place where South Africans of all backgrounds can experience happiness together... But is all as it appears? SEA POINT DAYS presents an unusual and impressionistic record of life at Cape Town's Sea Point Promenade and municipal pools, using largely cinematic vignettes to explore issues of belonging, integration, nostalgia, happiness and identity in an ex-white South African neighbourhood.
The Mothers' House
Director
A record of four years in the life of Miche, a charming, precocious, yet troubled teenage girl growing into womanhood in post-Apartheid South Africa.
