U-Carmen Ekhayelitsha (2005)
A spirited tribute to the power of African music, U-CARMEN EKHAYELITSHA translates Bizet's timeless opera into Xhosa (one of South Africa's eleven official languages), mixes in traditional song and transports the story from the slums of Seville to the streets of one of South Africa's poorest townships. Winner of the Best Film Prize at the Berlin Film Festival 2005.
