Oliver Hermanus's Moffie to premiere at 2019 BFI London Film Festival
The film has been included in the Best Film category, which is limited to 10 international films and ”celebrates the highest creative achievements of British and international filmmakers, applauding extraordinary storytelling and inventive filmmaking”.
The festival held in London’s West End is the main annual British film event complete with red carpet premieres of the most significant movie offerings of the year.
“Moffie is crisp and confident filmmaking, detailing the dehumanising brutality of conscripted military service in Apartheid-era South Africa. We think London audiences will get a real thrill out of the film and it will be our pleasure to present it to them,” said Tricia Tuttle, director of the BFI London Film Festival.
The film will also be making its world premiere at the 76th Venice Film Festival where it will compete for a host of awards including the Queer Lion.
Moffie is based on the memoir of the same name by Andre Carl van der Merwe and is produced by Eric Abraham and Jack Sidey, co-produced by Theresa Ryan-Van Graan and stars Kai-Luke Brummer, Ryan De Villiers, Matthew Vey, Stefan Vermaak and Hilton Pelser.
