Mischa Kamp & Tamara Bos about ROMY’S SALON
“Bakers and butchers are disappearing, but hair salons are still there”
Every day after school, 10 year old Romy reluctantly stays with her grandma, who works as a hairdresser and has her own salon. Grandma Stine, stiff and strict, has no time for her granddaughter. Until Romy realises that grandma often is messing things up. Gradually they grow closer while Romy is helping her with the new cash register. ROMY’S SALON is a heart-felt story about a grandchild standing strong when grandma is showing symptoms of dementia.
Judy Naidoo about KINGS OF MULBERRY STREET
“We only had one car to blow up”
Welcome to Mulberry Street in Durban, South-Africa. When Babu and his father are moving in, meeting Ticky – the boy next door – is unavoidable. Ticky is wild and cheeky, his role models are all Bollywood movie heroes, while Babu is introverted and well-educated. An odd duo, sharing a passion for crazy adventures. But the biggest adventure is yet to come, when the boys take on the fight against nasty neighbourhood gangster Raja. KINGS OF MULBERRY STREET, directed by Judy Naidoo, serves a cocktail of vibrant South-African street life, combined with the grand spectacle of Bollywood cinema.
