St. Louis Film Festival 




Cape of Good Hope screens as one of the closing night films at the St. Louis Film Festival. 

Cape of Good Hope
Directed by: Mark Bamford
Category: Features
Language: English, Afrikaans and Xhosa with English subtitles
South Africa, 2004 , 107 min.

This profoundly optimistic film arrives on the tenth anniversary of the end of Apartheid. Several intertwining storylines revolve around an animal rescue shelter on the edge of town. The faces of hope are; a refugee from war-torn Congo who finds himself torn between love and the promise of asylum in the West; a single mother and housekeeper trying to make a life for herself and her son, while finding a way out of the township once and for all; a young Muslim couple unable to have children of their own yet desperate to have a family; a recently widowed vet who wants to believe that true love can strike twice; and the emotionally guarded founder of the animal shelter, who seems to relate better to stray dogs than to people.
