Based on Bizet's Carmen but relocated to a South African township, U-Carmen is a hugely original piece of film making from director Mark Dornford-May. The film is sung and spoken in Xhosa, and is further evidence of the continuing influx and growing importance of African cinema.

Featuring a truly outstanding performance from Pauline Malefane in the title role, the film won the Golden Bear at last year's Berlin Film Festival and has captured the imaginations of critics the world over.
