AFDA Alumni Documentary Daughters of Lost Fathers Wins Best Documentary Short at Simon Mabhunu Sabela Awards 🎞
AFDA is proud to announce the short documentary film Daughters of Lost Fathers, created by AFDA alumni, won Best Short Form Documentary at the Simon Sabela Awards.
The film also received a nomination in the category of Best Micro Budget Film.
Daughters of Lost Fathers tells a deeply personal and emotional story of two young women who open up about the absence of their fathers during their upbringing, and how this absence shaped their lives into adulthood. The documentary explores the psychological and emotional impact of growing up without a father, especially in the context of their father being a public figure, a man who had the strength to fight for his country, but sadly, not for his daughters.
The story follows the girls from childhood through to the death of their father, ending with his final request to one of his daughters: to include him in one of her productions, a request that inspired the making of this film.
The team behind the documentary includes the following AFDA alumni:
Elihle September – Producer
NIHSS Executive Producer in association with uKZN
Sesiphiwe Zwane – Director, Writer, Editor, VFX, Voice-over, Casting Director
Lindokuhle Mthimkhulu – Assistant Director, Script Supervisor, Editor
Andiswa Zama – Cinematographer
Andile Ntuli – Cinematographer
Nqobile Cele – Marketing
Sibahle Zulu – Participant (whose story is featured in the documentary)
Daughters of Lost Fathers has opened a vital conversation around fatherlessness in the public sphere, and this accolade not only honours that courage, but sets the stage for an expanded life: the film will be submitted to international festivals later this year, with broadcast and outreach plans in development. AFDA extends its warmest congratulations to the entire team and applauds their contribution to storytelling that heals, empowers, and inspires.
