Street Peeper Zimbabwe Street Peeper April 2018 | Page 15

As the 22nd of February 2018 unfolded, Ster-Kenikor
smiled at each film fanatic who came to support the
event. The Red Carpet Affair took its stand in the Media
and Film Production, it was certainly a night to remem-
ber not only for the film organizers themselves but for
the generations to come. Cindy Munyavi as the MC made
the event more enticing as her sweet voice distanced the
audience from the reality into the film. Dr. Samwanda
encouraged the local film industry to be more creative
and innovative for them to attain the much needed stan-
dards. The film eloquence and astounding Shona Culture
is on point! The film was sold out, the attendance was a
banger, late comers like me had to spend the entire
launch standing as l also wanted a glimpse of the much
awaited Kushata KweMoyo. I wouldn’t miss it for the
world that is the love l have for my local content.
This Shona Film is a maestro-fusion of the old Mukadota
with the new English African way of film production ac-
companied with a rich taste of culture and poetic music
that will just evoke emotions and leave you in a stupor
mode of laughter.
Speaking to the cast on the sidelines of the premiere
Alayika Basikolo said, the role she plays in Muchaneta
it’s more of like a pretender on the screen, Kushata
KweMoyo production brought all that reality in produc-
tion she has always wanted to portray! She fits stun-
ningly in the role…l can watch the film over and over
again, she made a hallmark of how Zimbabweans are
talented in the film production business. Kudzai
Musungo says acting entails a lot of research on the char-
acter and putting a lot of yourself in the character’s
shoes.
As the curtain unveiled, the movie starts with darkness
filled in room-a child (Chiedza) comes to light a candle in
the dark room, a voice (Pedzisai) breaks the silence call-
ing Chiedza. In terms of production and scenery Mirazvo
Productions outdid viewer’s expectations, it is a movie
worth breaking your legs for; to watch it at the Cinema’s.
The quality of the sound takes you back to the old times!
Shem Zemura, Michael Zemura, Nick Zemura efforts in
the screenplay of the film is so visible, of all the success
they have; KUSHATA KWEMOYO swayed away our
hearts away. These are the big boys in the film industry.
