Weldun Media in association with the National Film & Video Foundation and Gauteng Film Commission, are elated to announce that their original series ‘Four Walls’, joins the slate of 22 North-American and 50 world films at the Oscar-qualifying Pan African Film & Arts Festival (PAFF). The series will screen as a feature film at the Los Angeles showcase of “Black creative work” on February 17th, 2023 at Cinemark Baldwin Hills Crenshaw and XD, 15:35 PST.
‘Four Walls’ is written, directed and produced by Kgosana Monchusi, Menzi Mzimela and Juvaiś Dunn, and follows a married nurse, Grace Molotsi (Enhle Mbali Mlotshwa). Grace is a woman at her wits end who has her house invaded by two thugs, played by Khulu Skenjana and Jeff Jackson, on the run from the cops after a cash in transit robbery gone wrong. The helpless woman is taken hostage by the thugs whilst they’re planning their next move. What the men don’t know is that Grace has a secret of her own.
“PAFF is one of the largest and most prestigious Black film festivals in the U.S. and attracts local, national, and international audiences; and one of the largest Black History Month events in America.”
Kgosana Monchusi (Director, Producer, Writer) spoke on the selection, “the Pan African Film Festival is the flagship black film festival in the world, so to be selected into such a prestigious festival and represent South Africa is a true honour. We can’t wait to touch down and share Four Walls with the audiences”.
‘Four Walls’ continues to garner critical acclaim as it picks up more selections on the international film festival circuit. Having premiered at the Northeast International Film Festival in the United Kingdom on 17 & 18 November 2022 and The Africa Rising International Film Festival on 25 November, the series extends its run to the Joburg Film Festival in February 2023 and the Buenos Aires International Web Series Festival (BUEIFF) in June 2023.
