A young woman bruised by the city, seems incapable of escaping her destructive lifestyle. But when she gets beaten up, the experience leaves her shaken and forces her to rethink what she's doing and how far she has strayed from the freedom and innocence of her childhood.

Christina Mureti, an impetuous police officer from the city, is transferred to a small desert town in Namibia where she uncovers a series of grizzly animal sacrifices.

The Unseen is about art, identity and solitude. It presents three interconnected vignettes that follow three different characters as they slip into spaces in Namibian society mostly unseen.

Film Festival Film is a movie shot over a weekend at the Durban International Film Festival, South Africa, in July 2018 by the underground South African collective Medu African Film Ensemble (aka Medu AF). With a sense of mischief and minimal resources pooled together by its contributors, the film tells the story of Fanon – a Black female filmmaker – beset by her demons ten floors up in an oceanside hotel, gazing out over African shores during the hermetically-sealed weirdness that is the world of a film festival. Using elements of fiction and documentary, the film follows Fanon as she wrestles with what the film industry expects her to be, and not to be, as she readies herself to pitch her first film.
