'Ten-Rand Note' by Luke Mason

This submission earned young director Luke Mason first prize in the film category at this year's Interpret Durban event.The short film follows the poignant, humorous, grimy and sometimes hallucinogenic journey of a ten-rand note in the big city. We're loving how the scenes play so seamlessly alongside the soundtrack, which, by the way, is Coals of Juniper's 'Insomnic.'

Like it's 1955 again

Ernst Eloff, co-founder of Mid-Century Modern,  now works as an independent buyer and collector of mid-century furniture pieces. His studio apartment in Gardens doubles as a temporary showroom where recognisable icons of the period make for quirky living room accents. Chrome pendant ceiling lights and high-backed siesta lounge chairs (circa 1970) might feature comfortably in grainy pre-millenium home video or science fiction film set, yet they're invading contemporary homes, offices and doctors' rooms like it's 1955 again.
