🎓 Mathlete
Dir. Ebeneza Blanche
"There is never a guarantee that a short film will turn out well, but the extraordinary team assembled for Mathlete amped my excitement well before I clicked play. The film brings together Ebeneza Blanche, a writer/director who is experiencing a meteoric rise in the world of music videos, with SMUGGLER, which is consistently ranked as one of the top production companies in the world. Throw in the backing of a fresh and exciting streetwear company in The New Originals and set the story in Ghana...well each of those elements alone is honestly enough for me to give a film a shot.
Obviously, we think that _Mathlete_, our featured film today on Short of the Week and KZread, is worth more than a "shot"-it is not a perfect film, but is more fascinating for it. A product of Blanche's childhood experience splitting time between the UK and Ghana, it excels in subverting accepted dualities: between Europe and Africa, between academic excellence and criminal hustling, and between poverty and fashion. For a Western audience, it is a chance to see Ghana authentically-free from a romanticizing or pathologizing eye, yet with the familiar classiness of top-tier Western production. It is an opportunity worth taking. ' - S/W Curator, Jason Sondhi
