Each week, we chat to Tat Wolfen, a/k/a "THE WOLFMAN" about his recommendations for television, and or movies. Todays episode took us back a few years, to a time when talking in movies was "unheard of", and Actors had to use other skills to relay their message.

From The Wolfman: "I was glad to share my views  about Charles Chaplin's 'A King in New York' (1957) - a film that led me  to entirely fresh perspectives on Chaplin's political beliefs. Film  historians often say that Chaplin was a communist, when, in fact, he was  actually a libertarian - even though he never labelled himself as such." 

THE WOLFMAN AT THE MOVIES airs each week on MILLER TIME RADIO LIVE at 11am. This episode aired 29 May 2020.

From Owen Lonzar:

I have been in the entertainment industry since I was 14 and we all know the struggle is very real for the arts in South Africa and always has been. It makes us creatives more determined and gives us a resilience that we use to further our cause, because in truth the arts are a cause. The Covid-19 pandemic and the lockdown has brought suffering to all South Africans and I have empathy for all of us, but we must each pick a cause to support or we will lose the battle. If we each pick a cause, then the problem becomes fightable and my cause is to help struggling artists. It is easy to become bitter about the situation of the arts but that only leads to one becoming swallowed up by grief and in turn leads to emotional paralysis.

I chose to launch a fundraising campaign on FB and through Back a Buddy. Fundraising takes commitment but ultimately it is the kindness and support of strangers and friends who carry it along. We have raised over R22000 in 10 days, but the need is so great that I have already spent all that helping over 50 artists and the list grows every hour.

The campaign advert appears below. To support this campaign and to increase awareness of South African performers across all genres I have also launched the #WaitingInTheWingsSA campaign on my Instagram page where I feature black and white photos with a pop of color of the performers in a mask doing what they do. It speaks to the mask being a barrier to what we do because artists cannot truly connect to the art or their audience when covered by the mask. Each photo is accompanied by the artist story and their wish once lockdown ends. I would like to turn this into a travelling exhibition on a digital format (tablets/phones on display where people can scroll through the photos and stories) as a testimony to the resilience of South African performers and ultimately the people of South Africa because the soul of the country lives in the ARTS – OwenLonzar_entertainment_sa

My name is Owen Lonzar, I have been a choreographer in South Africa for the past 30 years and I have had the honor of working with many incredible artists who have heart and have dedicated their lives to entertaining audiences at corporate and commercial events.

They have given so much of themselves and now need your help to survive. No events or performances are allowed meaning they are all unemployed and struggling even to feed themselves.

I am looking to send each person in need a grocery voucher to shop for essentials to keep them and their families going for a couple of weeks at least. I am aiming for R350 - R500 per person. All funds will be managed by me and tracked for recording keeping purposes.

The South African government does not have anything in place to offer financial aid or relief for freelance performers.

You are their hope right now so please donate what you can, every little bit helps.

*As per the campaign creator’s request, funds raised will be paid directly to One Small Act of Kindness*

“Imagine  as a little girl, shovelling big dogs’ shit daily, being forced to go  home always through the back door, being regularly sexually abused by  your step-mother’s two brothers, and dancing at gun point with drunk,  groping men.

“That  was debut author Claudine Shiels nightmare reality when her ill blood  mother walked out on the family. Shiels describes SA’s oldest sex abuse  case poignantly and deftly in her memoir, Walking Through Front  Doors(Bookstorm). The key to her survival was never losing hope. The  case comes to Court later this year.

Distinguished  author and historian, Jacob Dlamini, has used a National Archives album  with over 7 000 photos of apartheid’s enemies, collected by then  Security Police, to blow apart the myth that the brutal, murderous State  was efficient and organised. The Terrorist Album will be published by  Harvard University Press shortly. Watch this space.

Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP)  provides practical ways to change the way we think, view past events,  and adjust our reactions so that we can enjoy happier, richer lives, and  achieve our goals. NLP offers a set of psychological tools that allow  us to apply conscious reasoning to unconscious programming so that we  can change the reactions and patterns of behavior that we wish to change  in our lives.
