This short experimental film is based on an Athol Fugard play, ‘The Island’ (first performed in 1973, starring John Kani and Winston Nsthona), which in turn is based on the classical play, ‘Antigone’ written by Sophocles. The film was directed by Delia Meyer as part of a multimedia theatre presentation project for the University of the Western Cape’s Humanities programme. This experimental film was shot impromptu with no budget and no crew. No scripts was used, and the film was shot and edited within 12 hours.
