South African Encounter - Doco With A Difference
krocheav26 October 2020
This South African Tourist Production from 1960 was about as different in approach and cinematic style as they came. Written, produced, directed and photographed by talented Swedish all-rounder Sven Persson (The Naked Prey '65). It takes the viewer on a fully rounded tour of just about all you'd want to see in South Africa - and comes complete with several fascinating sections featuring professional actors.

These take the form of dreamlike sequences transporting us back in time to relive the lifestyles over various time-frames during this countries developmental history, complete with a present day romance thrown in. Highly original and beautifully produced with a marvelous music score by Eric (The Magic of Music) Jupp. All shot on theatrical 35mm in glorious IB Technicolor.
