This award-winning short film, written and directed by Emilie Badenhorst and Kanya Viljoen, is an exploration of a young woman that discovers love and intimacy, and the loss thereof, through a blossoming relationship with her best friend and the dissipation of her parents’ marriage. The film uses the landscape of multilingualism in South Africa, the Afrikaner culture and LGBTQIA+ bodies to question the moments of existing in between these spaces and borders created within society. ekstasis will be released on Vimeo on 21 January 2022.
