Curzon
Curzon has announced that it will still release Moffie on 24th April, though it will go directly to their home streaming service. They add that a theatrical release will still go ahead at a later date when cinemas start to open up following the COVID-19 pandemic shutdown.
Looking forward to seeing this. Here is the synopsis:
To be a moffie is to be weak, effeminate, illegal. The year is 1981 and South Africa’s white minority government is embroiled in a conflict on the southern Angolan border. Like all white boys over the age of 16, Nicholas Van der Swart must complete two years of compulsory military service to defend the Apartheid regime.
The threat of communism and “die swart gevaar” (the so-called black danger) is at an all-time high. But that’s not the only danger Nicholas faces. He must survive the brutality of the army – something that becomes even more difficult when a connection is sparked between him and a fellow recruit.
Watch the trailer for the film, one released whilst the film was on the festival circuit, below.
