Attention Cape Town!



















This is what my friend Laura has been working on! These teasers are from a documentary film Odd Number.

Odd Number tells a story of an ex-gangster turned into plumber living in the Cape Flats in Cape Town, South Africa. Follow his journey through the Flats, gang-wars and the notorious Pollsmoor Prison by watching this documentary film directed by Marius van Straaten.

I went to the premier of the film back in November (-and so did some of the gansters featured in the documentary, too). Now it’s on show again: if you're anywhere close by, head to the Cape Winelands Film Festival on the 20th and 25th of March to check it out in full length.

The cinematographer Laura Merilainen is originally from Finland, but now completing her Master’s Degree at the University of Cape Town and living in 'the Mother City' with her Kenyan husband.

Huomio Kapkaupunki!

Cape Winelands Film Festival esittää Odd Number -dokumentin koko komeudessaan 20. ja 25. maaliskuuta! Jos pyörit lähistöllä, suuntaa paikalle katsomaan mitä Kapkaupungin-suomalainen Laura Meriläinen on saanut aikaan!
