The 13th Encounters South African International Documentary Festival returns to Cape Town and Johannesburg from 9-26 June 2011. This year’s selection has all the hallmarks of an edgy teenager, like a fascination with sex ([permalink id=11 text="G-Spotting"]), celebrity ([permalink id=18 text="Joan Rivers: A Piece Of Work"], a winner at Sundance in 2010 last year), rebellion ([permalink id=19 text="LennonNYC"]), and injustice ([permalink id=5 text="The Black Power Mixtape"], a winner at Sundance in 2011). Opening up the world to South Africans each year, Encounters is widely acclaimed as Africa’s most prestigious documentary festival. This year’s selection features 37 films from 14 countries and five continents, including 11 world premieres, 19 South African films and 17 international films.
