Nobody’s Died Laughing is a documentary biopic celebrating the life and work of South African artist and activist Pieter-Dirk Uys. Using never seen before archive footage alongside candid interviews with both Uys and the important people that have surrounded his career, director Willem Oelofsen provides unprecedented access to one of South Africa’s most enigmatic and controversial figures. Focusing on issues ranging from censorship in the apartheid-era, to Uys’s humanitarian work on the HIV epidemic in present-day South Africa, Nobody’s Died Laughing is not only an intimate portrait of the multifaceted, and often hilarious, work of a post-apartheid ‘national treasure’, but also of the turbulent socio-political context that Uys – as well as the film itself – is holding up to scrutiny.
This screening is part of our newly inaugurated Documentary Competition which aims to encourage and support young and talented African filmmakers. The winner is selected by our jury of acclaimed film practitioners and academics and will be announced after the screenings on the second day. The audience will also have the opportunity to vote for their favourite film with the Audience Award winner announced on our website at the end of the festival.
Our thanks go to the Scottish Documentary Institute for sponsoring this award.
