Gaia Film To Debuts On Showmax This Halloween
As Halloween is approaching, Showmax announced a locally produced horror film Gaia will be available for streaming on Showmax as of the 31st October 2022. The breakout South African horror film won director of photography Jorrie van der Walt the 2021 Zeiss Cinematography Award at South by Southwest (SXSW) - widely considered one of the five most prestigious film festivals globally. Gaia follows an injured forest ranger on a routine mission (SAFTA nominee Monique Rockman from Nommer 37 ) who is saved by two off-the-grid survivalists (Silwerskerm winner Carel Nel from 4 Mure and SAFTA nominee Alex van Dyk from Die Stropers ). But what starts out as a welcome rescue grows more suspicious as the son and his renegade father reveal a cultish devotion to the forest. When their cabin is attacked by a strange being, it’s clear there is a far greater threat in this unrelenting wilderness. Set in the Tsitsikamma National Park, Gaia won Best Film, Director, Editor, Sound Design and Hair
