In this episode of Listen To Your Footsteps, we sit down with acclaimed filmmaker, Sifiso Khanyile, to explore his deep love for storytelling and archival research.

Sifiso discusses his journey from founding and leaving the South African rock group BLK JKS, his eventual shift into documentary filmmaking and what sparked the obsession with digging deep into history, culture, and memory.

We delve into his experiences with audio-visual archives, the inspiration he finds in old papers, and how spatial politics influences his work.

Sifiso also opens up about the challenges of raising children with new perspectives and the existential questions he faced after becoming a father.

Join us as Sifiso reflects on the intersection of art, history, and belonging, offering a glimpse into his unique worldview as an agnostic existentialist.
