Whitman Independent Film & Art Festival poster
I’ll be playing a NO WAVE inspired DJ set (Sat 13th somewhere between 6pm & 8pm at Chalkboard) at the Whitman Independent Film & Art Festival this coming weekend (13 & 14 July). It’s happening at THE BIOSCOPE and connected CHALKBOARD in the Maboneng district in Jeppe downtown Johannesburg. Scroll down to see the amazing line-up of films and entertainment.
Of interest is the documentary BLANK CITY directed by Celine Denhier which covers the NY No Wave movement of the late 70s/early 80s. Check out the trailer.
Also keen to check out festival organiser Sibs Shongwe La Mer’s TERRITORIAL PISSINGS.
Tickets are limited and can be obtained online or physically from THE BIOSCOPE
