A KIND OF LANGUAGE

South Africa 2010

An ex-patient of psychiatric Valkenberg Hospital in Cape Town, recently out, lives in a halfway house and battles a terrible past and his feelings for a flat mate. A street child, on the verge of becoming a teenager, does what he needs to stay alive and a prostitute tries to escape her brutal pimp. The lives of these three intersect with intriguing consequences. Based on the autobiographical plays Thirteen Cents and The Quiet Violence of Dreams by Kabelo ‘Sello’ Duiker.

A graduate of the Newtown Film School in Johannesburg, South Africa, Dlamini was a telecine operator before moving into production work. The love of music and the ambition to direct led her to train as an Assistant Director on many music videos. Her director’s opportunity came with Skizo’s music video Sghubu So Lova for which she received a South African Music Award nomination in 1999.
