Katutura movie available on DVD

Katutura movie available on DVD The Interactive DVD of Namibian feature film ‘Katutura’ will go on sale throughout Namibia on 31 May.

The locally produced Action Drama was screened a total of 55 times in Namibia, at various venues in Windhoek, Ongwediva and Swakopmund and also at film festivals in Los Angeles, Washington DC, Toronto, Finland, Trinidad & Tobago, Cameroon, South Africa and will screen at the prestigious Zanzibar International Film Festival this July.

Actress Odile Müller got an honourable mention for female performance at the Ecrans Noir Festival in Cameroon and the film won seven Namibian Theatre-and Film Awards, including Awards for Best Narrative Film, Audience Choice and Best Director.

Katutura, directed by Florian Schott and produced by Obed Emvula, follows a group of characters experiencing the gravity of living in a township. Ex-convict Dangi (Chops Tshoopara) has to deal with living a law-abiding life, an extramarital son and an old flame that his wife doesn`t know about. Gangster Shivago (Obed Emvula) explores a new market to sell his drugs and Kondja (Gift Uzera), a teenager in a wheelchair, falls in love for the first time. Their paths intertwine and their lives collide in both hopeful and brutal ways.

The ‘Katutura’ DVD not only features standard extras such as deleted scenes, a peep behind the scenes, marketing material and a gag reel, but also an interactive version, which lets the viewer jump to scenes that were cut or glimpses behind the curtain, while watching the movie - optionally with or without audio commentary by director Florian Schott and producer Obed Emvula.

The Interactive DVD will be available from 31 May at all Street House Stores throughout the country and Maerua Super Spar in Windhoek.
