Directed by Dylan Valley, South Africa, 2011, 60 min.

Afrikaans & Afrikaaps, English subtitles

On the occasion of the 10th anniversary of the film series “African Perspectives”, AfricAvenir & FNCC celebrate African Cinema throughout 2016. 

“Afrikaaps” explores the untold Creole history of Afrikaans, using what he knows best: HipHop, humour and personal perspective. The film follows a group of local artists creating the stage production, AFRIKAAPS, as they trace the true roots of Afrikaans to slaves in the Cape. The film reclaims and liberates Afrikaans from its reputation as the language of the oppressor, taking it back to the people who own it.
