Elizabeth Hartzenberg van Sarepta mag dalk nie meer fisiek hier wees om haar seun se eerste kortfilm te sien nie, maar sy gaan wel teenwoordig wees \u2013in die draaiboek en in haar seun, Enrico Hartzenberg, se hart en wese.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Uit Enrico se pen het al teaterproduksies soos Liefde is rooi<\/em>, Vloeibare moed<\/em> en Die lig is blou<\/em> Eersdaags is dit die premi\u00e8re van sy produksiemaatskappy Hartzenberg Films se debuut-kortfilm by die Joburg-filmfees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Die jongman wat sy drome najaag, vertel hy het verlede jaar besluit hy wil graag \u2019n kortfilm skryf. Verlede jaar het hy ook agtergekom hy kan geld uit die sosialemediaplatform TikTok maak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hy het genoeg gemaak om twee kortfilms te kon finansier, vertel Enrico. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cDit was verbasend. Ek het besluit ek gaan hierdie geld invest in my loopbaan \u2013 om nie stil te sit nie, maar dit te gebruik vir my goals en dreams.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Die beplanning was reeds in plek om begin Augustus verlede jaar met die verfilming te begin toe sy ma sterf. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cMy ma is op 31 Julie oorlede en ons moes toe die datum (van verfilming) skuif. Die week voor die begrafnis het ek so \u2019n stillness gevoel.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hy wou sy ma by die film betrek en n\u00e1 \u2019n gesprek met Thabani Makanza, die regisseur, het hulle besluit om die storie aan te pas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Die film se naam is Sister Dinges. Enrico vertel: \u201cDit gaan oor Marshall, \u2019n jong gay outjie wat \u2019n homofobiese aanval beleef op die dag toe hy besig is om sy ma se cremation te beplan. Die aanval dra by tot sy social anxiety, en sy anxiety om totsiens te s\u00ea vir sy ma, veral omdat hy nie daar was vir haar nie.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Maar hy wil eerder nie te veel verklap nie. Die film sal in Maart in die Kaap vertoon word en dan kan mense self kom kyk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Enrico het vir sy ma \u2019n gedig geskryf wat hy op haar begrafnis voorgelees het. \u201cEk het vir haar ges\u00ea: ek en sy gaan nog once appear op \u2019n cover in Hollywood. Wie sou kan dink dat sy nou in die film is saam met my?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hy verduidelik hulle verwys na sy ma, met foto\u2019s van haar, as die hoofkarakter se oorlede ma in die film. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cMy ma het altyd vir my teen homophobic attacks beskerm. Ek voel die film is \u2019n ode aan haar, want dit is \u2019n ma soos sy wat dit veiliger maak vir jong seuns soos ons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cDit is nie net om dankie te s\u00ea vir my ma dat ek my drome kon uitleef nie, maar ook dat sy \u2019n hero was nie. Hoewel sy figuurlik gebruik word in die film, beteken dit letterlik baie vir my. Ek het baie genesing gevind toe ek die film geskiet het, met haar foto\u2019s rondom my \u2013 dit het baie gehelp met die healing process. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Enrico en Thabani het saam aan die storie geskryf. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cToe ek die finale teks kry toe s\u00ea ek vir hom ek moet hierdie karakter speel. Twee weke later toe sterf my ma, toe maak dit dit nog meer simbolies hoekom ek die film moes doen.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hy is seker die film gaan harte aangryp. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cSoos met my ander werk, is ek baie eerlik oor wat gebeur. Hierdie is \u2019n landscape vir mense met grief. Ek glo ook daaraan: \u2019n mens weet nooit wat \u2019n ander deurmaak nie, so ons moet kind wees teenoor mekaar.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hy hoop die mense van Sarepta sal ook die film kyk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cEk dink dit gaan baie vir my gemeenskap, Sarepta, beteken, want baie mense ken my al; hulle weet hoe ek was en hulle ken my ma ook, so ek dink as hulle die film sien, gaan dit ook baie vir hulle beteken.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Maar vir nou sien hy eers uit om Johannesburg toe te gaan waar Sister Dinges op 1 Maart op die groot skerm gaan wys.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Toe hy gehoor het die film is aanvaar vir die Joburg-filmfees, het hy op sy knie\u00eb geval en gehuil. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cEk kon nie ophou huil nie, want dit is my maatskappy se eerste kortfilm. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOm te premi\u00e8re by een van ons land se grootste filmfeeste, is vir my groot. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cMy film gaan deelneem teen ander nasionale en internasionale films,\u201d s\u00ea hy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Wat die premi\u00e8re nog meer hartroerend vir Enrico maak, is dat dit in dieselfde week as sy ma se verjaarsdag plaasvind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sister Dinges wys op Saterdag 16 Maart by The Wave Theatre in Langstraat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Daar is drie vertonings \u2013 om 15:00, 15:30 en 16:00. Kaartjies kos R50. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Elizabeth Hartzenberg van Sarepta mag dalk nie meer fisiek hier wees om haar seun se eerste kortfilm te sien nie, maar sy gaan
