The CHR is pleased to announce that three documentaries produced as part of the Documentary Film course will show at this years 20th Annual Encounters South African International Film Festival. The course, taught by Francois Verster with funding from the Andrew W Mellon Foundation and the National Research Foundation, engages students on both the practical and theoretical aspects of documentary film. In 2017, Premesh Lalu, Rui Assubuji and Leanne Brady took the course, and each produced short documentaries which were selected by Encounters for this years film festival.
