Frieze Films’ commercial director Grant De Sousa recently won Cinema Nouveau’s Win
Your Own Film Fest competition, where he had to identify a range of iconic films from
some quirky clues.
For his prize, De Sousa screens five of his favourite films at The Grant De Sousa Film
Festival on Saturday 27 April 2013 at Cinema Nouveau, V&A Waterfront in Cape Town.
De Sousa’s line-up includes:
- John Hughes’ cult classic Weird Science (screening at 09h45)
- Steven Spielberg’s Oscar-winning Raiders of the Lost Ark,
starring Harrison Ford as Indiana Jones (screening at noon) - Sergio Leone’s classic Western, The Good, The Bad and The
Ugly, starring Clint Eastwood (screening at 14h15) - David Fincher’s Oscar-nominated Fight Club, starring Brad Pitt
and Edward Norton (screening at 17h30) - Alex Proyas’ science fiction classic Dark City, starring Rufus
Sewell, William Hurt and Kiefer Sutherland (screening at 20h15)
De Sousa will introduce each film. “I have grown up with film, and now I am fortunate
to work in the industry directing commercials. In fact, I probably see two or three
movies every week!
“The Cinema Nouveau competition was a great idea and I enjoyed the challenge of
deducing the movie titles from the cryptic clues. Now, having finalised my selection of
five titles, I can’t wait to host my very own film festival – I could not imagine a better
way to spend an entire Saturday than watching movies!’
Tickets cost R35 per ticket and bookings open on Monday 22 April via www.cinemanouveau.co.za or www.sterkinekor.mobi.
