O Festival de Cinema de Joburg está a abordar tensões entre liberdade artística e censura estatal através de discussões e filmes.

Os bilhetes custam entre R50 e R200 por filme, disponíveis no Webtickets. O tema, Feel the Frame, celebra a ousada narrativa africana e global como uma viagem sensorial e emocional.

Inclui uma conversa acolhida pela cineasta Arya Lalloo com a artista Gabrielle Goliath sobre The Voice of Hind Rajab. A discussão destaca o atrito após a decisão do Ministro dos Desportos, Artes e Cultura Gayton McKenzie de retirar o apoio à peça de performance Elegy de Goliath, que inclui referências palestinas.
