Join us for the premiere of Verified, an South African Independent Film written and directed by Waleed M. Al-Yamani, starring Richard Gau, Angela Sithole, Gerard Rudolf and many more. This screening will be followed by the first ever "New Wave" session, a series of audience-led discussions focused on the future of independent filmmaking in South Africa.
The Bioscope and Joburg Underground proudly present an exclusive screening of a unique challenger film that has been thrilling international audiences.
Headlined by global sensation Richard Gau playing Dillon in what some are calling his best performance yet. Fans at the Comic Con Africa preview called it ‘a claustrophobic fist fight with an invisible man in an electric storm’.
“A lot of the content we consume today keeps you in a gluttonous state. What Verified does is it shines a light, with Dillon being almost a mirror taking you with him to look at your wounds and to make you feel uncomfortable.” (Stephan Lehman, The Citizen)
Envisioned as Locke meets Donnie Darko in the age of social media, ‘Verified’ was made as a love letter to secret selves who dream while doom scrolling at two in the morning.
Director: Waleed M. Al-Yamani.
Meta-Thriller. Dur: 1hr 37 min
On the Holy Night of Power isolated from the world, a digital edge lord must come face to face with the cold hard truth of reality. He must realize that he can't close the window on loss.
