The National Arts Festival is a celebration of the multidisciplinary arts held in Grahamstown, South Africa. This year, it is running from June 30 to July 10 and features dance performances, stage plays and musicals, stand-up comedy, art exhibitions, music concerts, and a film festival.
In keeping with the arts theme, the Naf is screening two excellent documentaries about two very unconventional American artists as part of the film festival. They are: Plaster Caster, which profiles legendary Chicago- based super-groupie Cynthia Plaster, and Ghost Dance, which tracks a visit to Europe by controversial artist Steven Johnson Leyba.
Plaster Caster screens on Tuesday, July 5 at 3:00 p.m. while Ghost Dance screens on Thursday July 7 at 10:00 p.m.
A huge hit on the international film festival circuit in 2001-2002, Plaster Caster was subsequently released on DVD all over the world. (Amazon | Netflix). Filmmaker Jessica Everleth (née Villines) tracks the artistic career of Cynthia Plaster Caster,...
