2011 Documentary Week
14 – 20 November 2011
The Labia Cinema, Cape Town
As part of the 2011 Freedom to Create Prize celebrations, we screened a selection of films to celebrate this year's best film entries at the Labia, the oldest independent art-repertory cinema in South Africa.
For the past twenty-nine years, the Labia has been operating as a cinema on the alternative circuit appealing mainly to the more discerning viewer who enjoys its quality product and the charm of its old-world ambience.
2011 Freedom to Create Documentary Week was organised in collaboration with While You Were Sleeping, a Cape Town-based non-profit collective committed to bringing progressive, non-mainstream documentary films with important social and environmental messages to South African audiences.
