JEWFRO

Jewfro follows Barney Nudelman, who lives in his dead Grandmother’s flat in Hillbrow. Barney spends his days on ChatRoulette trying to make friends until he comes across @hannaonline with whom he develops an intense parasocial relationship

The film explores racial distortion, cultural appropriation, and atomization as a result of online attachments.

The project received NFVF post-production financing and was shortlisted for selection at Cannes Directors’ Fortnight in 2020.

Jewfro is still in post-production. These are images made on the set of the film, as a parallel photo story about Barney Nudelman.
