Movie magic with Namibian films
Namibian film gems on display
Grab your snacks and hop on your couches this festive season because the Zambezi Magic Movie Festival is upon us!
This December, Zambezi Magic is bringing an amazing end to the year with a festive season filled with exciting local content.
Staying true to the channel’s pay-off line, ‘Sharing Our Stories’, Zambezi Magic is hosting a weekend movie festival featuring Namibian films.
“As Africa’s most loved storyteller, we believe that MultiChoice Namibia has shifted the dial in the film and television industry this year thanks to our investment in local films,” says MultiChoice Namibia managing director, Roger Gertze.
“The availability of these films on Zambezi Magic speaks to the growing appetite for local content from the 'Land of the Brave', and we couldn’t be more excited to see our stories on screen."
Namibian gems
The festival kicks off on Saturday, 2 December, at 20:30 with the Namibian film 'Chef's Kiss.’
If you miss the first airing, you can catch it again on Sunday, 3 December, at 18:30.
"'Chef's Kiss’ is a story that revolves around Naomi, an amateur chef who must win a cooking competition to pay her father’s gambling debt. However, she deviates from her goal as she develops feelings for a fellow rival contestant," MultiChoice Namibia explains in a press statement.
On Saturday, 9 December, at 20:30, "we have Okalila, another gem from Namibia. Don’t worry if you miss it – you can watch it again on Sunday, 10 December, at 18:30. The film tells the story of a self-serving project coordinator for a rural development agency who reluctantly goes to a village in northern Namibia to find answers and secure the promotion he wants."
On Saturday, 16 December, at 20:30, the channel will air ‘Penda’s Dilemma,’ a gripping tale about a German-Namibian millionaire who will stop at nothing to seize the ancestral land of two indigenous Namibian communities for diamonds. If you miss it, catch the repeat on Sunday, 17 December, at 18:30.
Stay tuned to Zambezi Magic on DStv (channel 162) and GOtv (channel 16) for more authentic local stories.
