Dissonance

What happens when a live broadcast becomes a trap? This gripping thriller follows a tense battle of wits between a classical composer and a radio presenter as past traumas collide on the airwaves. Sweeping top honors locally before representing South Africa at Filmapalooza and the Cannes Short Film Corner, the film earned massive global acclaim—including a prestigious Best Actress win for Antoinette Louw at the international Filmapalooza festival. It stands as a powerful testament to world-class storytelling delivered under ultimate pressure.
