A weekly long-form conversation about cinema — with the people making it, and the people watching closely.
It is hosted by editor Tendai Mhlanga and senior critic Imani Sefako, with a rotating cast of guest filmmakers, writers and industry figures. There is no chatter, no scoring, no promotional cycle. Just a real conversation, between people who care.
