INTRODUCING - OLD RIGHTEOUS BLUES
A movie made in Robertson and about Robertson!
It’s a Romeo and Juliet story set in the Boland, a gripping drama about a community torn in two over an old feud, and a truly South African film that shines the spotlight on a national cultural treasure: the Western Cape Christmas Choirs. This is Old Righteous Blues, the must-see Silwerskerm Festival feature film, with a large and impressive cast that is set to have audiences around the world applauding.
Old Righteous Blues was filmed in beautiful Robertson and tells the story of Hantjie, an ambitious young man with a burning desire to become the drum major of his Christmas choir. Unfortunately, the choir’s rigid leaders who cling to the past, do not approve. To further complicate matters the love of Hantjie’s life, Risi, is the daughter of the leader of the hated opposition choir.
Ayden Croy delivers a captivating performance as Hantjie and Megan Saayman shines as his beloved Risi. Old Righeous Blues also stars up-and-coming stars like Joshwin Dyson and Stefan Erasmus. The cast is rounded out by formidable veteran actors such as Kevin Smith, Simon Bruinders, Euodia Sampson and Ivan Abrahams.
Old Righteous Blues is all the more special for the way it involved the people of Robertson – as extras, advisors or for behind-the-scenes assistance. It is not only a uniquely South African film; it’s also Robertson’s film.
