Private Project

Blue

Blue is an experimental short that explores a young man's dissociative outlook of the world and himself. Stepping away from his traditions the story follow him as he finds it hard to come to terms with himself. The symbolism of color is important as it represents his dream state and his longing for freedom. The theme of water is also important as it speaks to a baptism and rebirth of new ideas.

Director Biography - Bongani Ndaba, Ndivhu Mushanganyisi

I began my journey into the motion picture industry during my late high school phase. I was lucky enough to be asked to volunteer for the Encounters Documentary Film Festival, this experience changed my life, in which I continued to volunteer for many other festivals over my tertiary phase at the University of Johannesburg. After graduating I began an internship at Media 24 which required me to drop out of my course. I returned to complete my Btech in Multimedia 2015 and then completed my BA qualification in Film and Television in 2019.
