THE CARETAKER
We are proud to present, in collaboration with Wolff Architects, the debut screening of The Caretaker. Situating us in a time between time, the film follows the memory of the man who tirelessly cared for the seaside cottage of the mining head Cecil John Rhodes whose imposed systems of extraction decimated local life. Faced with struggles of eviction and belonging The Caretaker calls to question, what do we want to remember, who do we want to care for it and how do we care for them. Join us Thursday 23rd April 2026 from 7pm for the debut screening and a conversation with Ilze Wolff, Malik Edjabe, Keegan Steenkamp and Masello Montana on the making of The Caretaker.
