The small and big movie screens are abuzz with original book adaptations and even so for local authors. Join us on Tuesday the 27th of August in our gallery from 17:30/18:00 to 19:30 for our first edition of our ‘From Book to Screen‘ series. Take a seat with Leon van Nierop for a behind-the-scenes conversation with author Rudie van Rensburg and screenwriter and director duo, Corné and René van Rooyen, as they share the intriguing process of turning the book Hans steek die Rubicon oor into a big screen blockbuster.

Their film was awarded the Best Film at Silwerskermfees in 2023 and is currently SA’s 2024 nominee for the Septimus Awards in Amsterdam.
