The star does in this manner, at the time when our heart falls down, the star falls down on account of it. For the stars know the time at which we die.
— Dia!kwain, Bushman Folklore (1911)
DOCUMENTARY
FEATURE FILM

"RECOLLECTION” follows the complexities of addressing the wrongs of the past in a journey guided by First Nations’ visions of healing and repair.
PREVIOUS FILM
In the developing and producing the documentary film, RECOLLECTION we will maintain the principles and conceptual baseline developed while creating our precursor film; !AITSA. This story-telling model attempts to hold all voices in equal esteem while exploring profoundly complex and emotional topics.
Our award-winning film !AITSA is an example of this approach.
!AITSA transcends tradition, science and spirituality, immersing viewers on a journey that explores the Square Kilometre Array Observatory (SKAO) project in the Karoo. The film delves into the Khoi and San populations traditional roots and highlights the sacred value of the land.
