Thursday marks the premiere of the Media
Film Festival, and the homecoming of two world travelers, filmmakers and
Penncrest alum whose film, LADUMA,
will be showing on Saturday at the event.
LADUMA, filmed
and produced by 2002 Penncrest
grads Jon Korn and Ashwin Chaudhary, chronicles the experiences of American
fans during the 2010 FIFA World Cup, and also tells the story of how the
"beautiful game" has historically brought South Africans together.
"It's an experiential
documentary," Korn explained. "We had the cameras rolling the whole
time we were there, and through the film, wanted to take people to South Africa
and let them experience the biggest sporting event in the world."
