Private Project

The Leper

An sensory exploration into acceptance of things what we most reject in ourselves. This experimental short asks the questions: Can we accept the darkness within ourselves? Can we face the monster staring back at us in the mirror? Can we love the damned?

Director Biography - Bongani Ndaba

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.
