“The festival is a key event for the African film industry and we are delighted that “Between Friends” has been selected for the programme,” says Helen Kuun, CEO of Indigenous Film Distribution, which is distributing the film in South Africa.
Helen said that the film is a charming comedy-drama that looks at the strains and old rivalries between a group of friends who have grown up a lot since they last met.
Between Friends is directed by Zuko Nodada, who has directed a number of films, theatre shows and drama series for SABC1, including the hit drama series Intersexions and Bay of Plenty.
The film tell the story of a group of five university friends who reunite at an upmarket game lodge in KwaZulu Natal, seven years after graduation. Haunting their reunion is the secret of a wild night they spent together at the very same lodge some seven years ago. Long buried secrets shared by the old friends are eventually exposed, causing tension to arise in their current relationships.
“Between Friends” features a cast of familiar faces. Thapelo Mokoena plays Nkanyiso, a suave, successful entrepreneur who is reluctantly attending the reunion with his gorgeous trophy girlfriend, Nisha, played by Amanda Du Pont.
In the role of the older and wiser Njabulo, Nkanyiso’s more laid-back brother and manager of the game lodge, is Siyabonga Radebe.
The films also stars Lihle Dhlomo, who won “Best Newcomer” at the 2012 Mercury Durban Theatre awards and is well known on the Durban stage, best known for his role as Dumisani Shabani in the SABC1 soapie Generations, and newcomer Madisa Nduna, who made it the final four of Class Act 2.
