- Investigating the gruesome murder of a cabinet minister's daughter, a special investigator and a local police detective find themselves knee-deep in political corruption and conspiracy.
- Love, duty and change.
- An intimate portrait of the fragile relationship between SIA who is recovering from doing drugs and her mother MARIA.
- A black man runs through a field. A black man runs on the beach. A black man runs through a city. The black man is always running, he is always chased, he is always running - Running to save his life A black man runs towards freedom.
- Another stylistically audacious work, The Bull on the Roof sails across disparate narratives and international locations - Johannesburg, Helsinki, Vienna and New York. The result is a kaleidoscopic snapshot of urban spaces and sexual variations - walking through cities, taking ferries, riding trains, going on a picnic and fornicating within and without, but always informed by place - site specific, one might say. The geographic disorientation is heightened by voice-overs in multiple languages but held together by the similarity of the small details of peoples' lives, whatever country they may be in.
- In April 2002, South African entrepreneur Mark Shuttleworth launched aboard the Russian Soyuz TM-34 mission for a 9-day, 21-hour, and 25 minute trip into outer space. In gentle, disembodied voiceover, he recounts his experiences of coming to understand Earth afresh by venturing away from it and viewing it from an entirely new perspective. This unusual avant garde short provides a moving and quietly stated environmental message through beautiful and somewhat "unearthly" imagery.
- An exploration of memory, testimony and cross cultural perspectives through close examination of the relationship between mother and daughter. A white South African middle-class mother and daughter are brought together by the mother's illness. That closeness is more than metaphorical: the daughter must get into the bath to wash her weakened mother. Perhaps prompted by that, the two begin to exhume personal memory - discovering how they recall the past differently and how these nuances of shared experiences shape their perceptions of the present. This contested past is evoked by archival Super-8 footage that is as absorbing as the spinal narrative.
- I Mike What I Like, the world's first spoken word film, is a riveting tour de force of visual poetry directed by Jyoti Mistry. It offers a visceral connection with language and a fluid, narrative, cinematic experience that is a kaleidoscopic visual interpretation of Kgafela oa Magogodi's powerful words. The film is a roving conversation of words, images, text, music, graphics and performance set to jazz improvisation and action painting. I Mike What I Like navigates a roller coaster ride via the birth pains of a young society through its premature initiation on the seething streets of the city of Johannesburg to the deepest moments of internal intimacy. Kgafela speaks the unspeakable and mikes what he likes in the tradition of Steve Biko, Ayi Kwei Armah, and Dambudzo Marechera. I Mike What I Like is based on the stage play of the same title that was part of the 52 Seasons at the South African State Theatre, Pretoria.
