Time to promote some continental filmmakers again. The young ones.

The organizers of Design Indaba, an annual design fair held in Cape Town (this year’s edition was last week), recently commissioned six local filmmakers to make short profiles of the country’s designers. Not an original idea, but the subjects are interesting. Here’s two of the films I like. The profile above is of illustrator and graphic designer Daniel Ting Chong. The film’s director is Alasdair McCulloch.

Here’s one more on graphic artist and rapper, Mr Fuzzy Slipperz by filmmaker Rio Allen:

You can watch all six short profiles here.
