The South African animation industry has been going from strength to strength in the last few years, with numerous international awards being won and some truly ground-breaking work hitting screens big and small. 

And this coming weekend the industry gets to take stock, celebrate its progress and talk about the future as it plays host to the 9th Cape Town International Animation Festival. This year's event is a hybrid one blending actual screenings, talks, and workshops with virtual participation.

Guest: Dianne Makings |  Festival Director of the Cape Town International Animation Festival

Guest: Meg Rickards | Director and co-writer of the film Kaalgat Karel

Filmed in Afrikaans with English titles, the movie is a light romantic comedy, the story of a streaker with a cheeky sense of humour and a great big heart. After one of his escapades goes wrong, he falls for the gorgeous paramedic who rescued him, but there’s a double problem – she’s a hard-working single mom with no time for his shenanigans, and he has a rival for her affections in the form of a wealthy and super-arrogant plastic surgeon. Will Karel spend the rest of his life in the friend zone or will true love win the day? You’ll have to watch it to find out.
