Sea Point Promenade separates the city from the ocean. Once a bastion of Apartheid exclusivity it is nowadays unique in its apparently easy mix of age race gender religion wealth status and sexual orientation. Yet in a country that will not fully deal with past or present is all as it appears? At the core of the Promenade lies the Sea Point Pavilion a complex of municipal pools built over a large landscaped lawn during the 1920s. As clothes are removed bodies of all shapes and hues are openly displayed - and different races come into close bodily contact. Bloated pink... bodies splash close to small brown ones visiting European models lie topless on towels close to carefully clad Muslim women overseeing family picnics. Using innovative film language quirky charm and a combination of film formats this film captures not only the societal blend particular to this part of Cape Town - but also the conflicts and difficulties underlying it. Sea Point Days presents a fresh and compelling vision of South Africa through an extraordinary public space in a time of transition. In this everyman''s land between ocean and city the most bizarre and unexpected things happen every day. [show more]
