July Newsletter

Neelsie Cinema Newsletter - July 2024 

Dear Neelsie Cinema Enthusiasts,

Welcome to July Staycation! As the winter chill sets in, we have an AMAZING lineup of films and events to keep you warm and entertained. There's something for everyone to enjoy, so grab your popcorn, settle in, and let the cinematic adventures begin! 🎥

🎥  Our Curator- Tracey Lange 🎥

Our curator for July is Tracey Lange, a Kfm94.5 Radio presenter who has made significant contributions to the film industry. She produced the SAFTA-winning film "Griekwastad" in 2020, as well as "Klein Karoo 2" and "Heart of the Hunter" on Netflix, the first African film to reach number 1 worldwide on the platform.

"What is your favourite film line to use in your daily life?" - Tracey's answer: "It takes all the running you can do, to keep in the same place. If you want to get somewhere else, you must run at least twice as fast as that." - Alice in Wonderland.

"If you could have dinner with any director/actor, who would it be and why?" - Tracey's choice: James Burrows, known for his work on iconic series like Friends, Big Bang Theory, and Will & Grace.

Join us at the cinema as we watch Tracey's favourite films!
