OPENING NIGHT EVENT includes traditional snacks and live performances (all tickets $30). Official selection of the South African Film Festival. THE LAST RANGER (short film) [Note Language is primarily in Xhosa, with some dialogue in English]. When young Litha is introduced to the magic of a game reserve by the last remaining ranger, they are ambushed by poachers. In the ensuing battle to save the rhinos, Litha discovers a terrible secret. OLD RIGHTEOUS BLUES: [Note Language Afrikaans with English Subtitles] In Robertson in the Western Cape, two brothers, Hantjie and Elvin Jansen, still suffer from the aftereffects of a generation-old rupture in their community caused by the splitting of the Old Righteous Blues Christmas choir into two, rival, choirs, respectively led by their estranged father and uncle. Hantjie's ambitions to be Drum Major in his uncle's band threaten his relationship with his brother Elvin, a quietly talented trumpeter whose loyalties lie with his late father's legacy band, the New Righteous Blues.
