FILM & BOOK:  Jocasta’s Hairballs with Film maker Lindiwe Nkutha

Lindiwe Nkutha

Jocasta’s Hairballs’ was presented as a multimedia, pollyphonous narrative, with characters drawn from archetypes from across cultures and different time periods, using still photographs streamed into video, accompanied by narration and music, to tell from nine different perspectives the story of Jocasta’s experience of patriarchy and gender violence. Jocasta’s Hairballs culminated into a self-published short story presented alongside some of the images, which she and a very very nice friend – Hannelie de Klerk took. You are sure to recognize the voices of the narrators – they are definitely voices you have heard on previous Saturday slots at XARRA Books before. The guess is yours… Book will be read and film will be screened.
