Teams can consist of 4-6 crew members\, with the option of including additional actors if needed. You’re welcome to use any camera or equipment you can get your hands on. If you’d like to use equipment from the Gear Room\, you’ll need to arrange your own bookings and collections in advance. \nThe Challenge\nYour completed film must: \n\nAim to be exactly 5 minutes and 55 seconds (05:55) long.\nInclude at least one of the five dialogue lines revealed at the launch.\nInclude at least one of the five props revealed at the launch.\nIncorporate at least one of the five genres revealed at the launch.\nInclude the WORDLE word from 29 July\, 1 or 2  August somewhere in the film.\nAcknowledge any use of AI in the end credits\, if AI is used.\n\nWhether you’re directing\, writing\, shooting\, editing\, acting\, or producing\, this is your chance to collaborate\, experiment\, solve problems under pressure\, and make something unforgettable. \nThe Google Sheet on which to write your team names down will be shared by your lecturers\, if you haven’t received it and want to register or join a team please email jaco@openwindow.co.za. All the films will be screened in the week following the festival\, and winners will be voted for – screening date and times TBA. \n \nIf anyone has any further questions\, address them to jaco@openwindow.co.za[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:Stardust on Broken Ground - Solo Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=”701613″]– PUBLIC EVENT – \nWe are thrilled to invite you to the NOW Gallery for a solo exhibition by the incredible Tatenda Magaisa.
Tatenda Magaisa is an artist\, writer\, and cultural producer (MA\, Wits) currently in residence at BLVCK BLOCK. \nMagaisa’s work is a powerful exploration of Black womanhood in popular culture and the complexities of global interaction. By blending painting\, print\, and video with themes from horror and sci-fi\, she captures the “continuous unease” of our modern world. \nFollowing her major 2024 solo at the Johannesburg Art Gallery and previous showcases at Zeitz MOCAA and the French Institute\, her practice dives deep into the “irreconcilable conditions” of art and labour. This is an exhibition you won’t want to miss. \nOpening Night: 5th March | 18:00\nArtist Walkabout: 14th March | 11:00\nLocation: NOW Gallery\, Open Window – Centurion Campus \nFollow her journey:
