The Boers at the End of the World
Dir. Richard Finn Gregory | South Africa 2015 | 1h25m | Afrikaans/English/Spanish with English subtitles | 15
The Dickasons have never been to South Africa, but they call it home. They are part of a community of Boers – Afrikaans-speaking South Africans of Dutch descent – whose ancestors migrated to Argentina when the Anglo-Boer War in South Africa burned down their farms a century ago. Against all odds, they have managed to keep their language and culture alive. Conscious of the fact that their legacy could disappear in a few decades, Ty Dickason will travel to South Africa to reconnect with his roots and relatives. South African filmmaker Richard Finn Gregory debuts as a documentary filmmaker with this fascinating film, which has won 3 SAFTAs (South African Film and Television Awards).
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.
