The movie is set in Manenberg or the Cape Flats and was shot in various locations like Conifers (Blue Downs), Goodwood, Bellville and Manenberg,\u201d says van Rooi. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The film was released on Sunday 13 March at the Labia Theatre in Cape Town and will be streamed online and entered into various film festivals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span>\u00carens innie Toekoms<\/span> is inspired and motivated by the warmth and the cold of the Cape Flats, specifically Manenberg. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe grapple with the struggles faced by Christopher Marais and his family \u2013 discriminated against for speaking an unrecognised minority language, treated as inferiors, but later on proven to be victors. After being denied a job at a new company because of the language he speaks, he teams up with Andrew Smith, a language expert and activist, and together they take on a case that will eventually change the linguistic landscape of South Africa, creating recognition for minority languages and their speakers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Van Rooi says the journey to finishing the movie was not easy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThere was a great demand for financial resources, and all of our funding applications (done over a two-year period) were unsuccessful. Thankfully there were many who assisted us with production costs. Many people donated and sponsored, and many crew and cast kindly rendered their services and talents voluntarily. And because of this, all the giving (from many, many different people \u2013 for whom we are so thankful) we\u2019ve called the project our \u2018love project\u2019. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe writing process started with a sleepless night in the heart of level five lockdown and flourished into the finished film we have today. Initially I wanted to do a documentary on Kaaps, but I rethought the idea. I wanted something that would be enjoyed by more people, so I decided on a short film. We did not let the problems stop us. I reached out to the Director, Jaak Erasmus, who eagerly agreed to join forces to bring the film to life. Thereafter we worked on finishing the script and contacting some actors that I envisioned for the various roles. There were also some setbacks with the lockdown restrictions, but we persevered. I want to thank everyone that was involved with the project,\u201d says Van Rooi. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A masters student from Blue Downs has just finished making a
