BARGAIN HOLIDAY to Zanzibar – WOW!!!
We can’t believe the value for money offered by this 5 day trip to the heavenly island of ZANZIBAR off the coast of Tanzania. It’s from GETAWAYTRAVEL, the same people that run the highly respected travel magazine. You can go for 6 days G to paradise for R2790 which includes the flights and accommodation… There must be a catch – perhaps it’s the bungalows ‘built from natural materials such as palm leaves, local wood and coral stone’ although that sounds like our kind of holiday. It doesn’t include your departure taxes, so add on about R500 and neither does it include the visa payable on arrival of $50. Breakfast is included. It’s an incredible bargain… GO GO GO. Before the end of September. We did some research of our own to find out about the accommodation at the WHITE SANDS BEACH HOTEL – this is from VIRTUALTOURIST, our favourite travel tip site: The place has been taken over by a couple from Belgium, who have been renovating the entire place. If youre staying in the area and want to relax in a laid back atmosphere, this is the place to go. The food is excellent and even cheap. There is also a cheeky little monkey to keep you entertained. And finally, its clean and has mosquito nets set up by the cleaning staff before the buggers come out. Great atmosphere and service! Go to GETAWAY TRAVEL for more info. Valid from 16 July – 30 September 2005 6 days FROM ONLY R2 790 per person sharing 8 Days FROM ONLY R3 190 per person sharing Package Includes ** Flights from Johannesburg to Zanzibar on South African Airways ** Return airport/hotel transfers ** Accommodation at White Sands Beach Hotel on a bed and breakfast basis Package Excludes ** Airport departure taxes ** All items of a personal nature ** Meals not mentioned above ** Visa cost payable on arrival – $50 per person...

He returns home to find a parcel on the doorstep and, thinking it is a birthday present, he opens it. But it’s contents will change his life. 2004 3D Animation 35mm Dolby SR/SRD 9min 30secs Korean with English Subtitles “The jury awarded Best Animated Short to Birthday Boy because of its captivating and expert storytelling and filmmaking” Bregler explains. “This is a phenomenal film on its merit alone, but even more impressive given that Park is still a student. Every camera angle and motion transcends the screen and transports the viewer into Manuk’s world to experience life as he knows it. The story is so compelling and magical that the 3D animation becomes secondary to the delivery of the film.” Chris Bregler, SIGGRAPH 2004 Computer Animation Chair “The jury was especially taken with the convincing depiction of human facial expressions in this lovely animated story.” Prix Arts Electronica Jury, 2004...

It’s been more than a year and John Barker and Ziggy Hofmeyr continue to brave the cold and keep on pushing the delights of FILM every week in Joburg at their Film Club – good work guys keep it up! This week’s film is a local one, THE FLYER, directed by Revel Fox and edited by Richard Starkey. Apple Park presents Film Club. This Wednesday night the 3rd August …2005 we have “The Flyer” kicking off at 8pm: The Flyer is the uplifting story of a young coloured kid saved from the mean streets of Cape Town by an old trapeze great, and indoctrinated into a gravity defying world – trapeze flying! But the flybar between success and failure swings in the balance as his past and present collide to dramatic effect. Please guys, if you want us to show your film, drop off a copy either with Ziggy or John at one of the screenings and we will add to our library to show when the time is right. Our goal is still to put together a film festival some time in the future and you’re films – big or small – will all be considered.
