Ellen, The Ellen Pakkies Story
Ellen kickstarts the film festival on 6 September 2018. The drama follows the relationship between a mother and son which is under strain because of the destructive company he keeps that leads to a serious drug addiction. This heart breaking true story about Ellen, a mother who is driven to murder his own son due to his addiction, showcases both the dark and lighter side of our rainbow nation.
Ellen releases 7 September nationally. Bookings are now open.
Table Manners
Heritage Month continues with special screenings of Table Manners on 13 September. The film showcases the heart-warming story of a woman challenged to stay afloat despite her failing relationship and her family’s debt issues. Played by beloved local talent Diaan Lawrence, who is known for her role on 7de Laan, Megan is a mother and wife who loses everything when her husband is arrested for tax fraud. With no choice but to survive, Megan recovers and finds herself through her love for cooking and the support of her friend Lindiwe, played by Renate Stuurman.

It premieres on 20 September at select Ster-Kinekor cinemas.
