SA Indie Film Fest 2020 x Hectic Bru Short Films Official Selection

Saloon is a dystopian African short, that centers on a hitman named Nkanyamba who struggles with his demons and visits a safe haven in the towns known to all hitmen and women as 'Saloons'. As he begins to relax and have a drink, the bartender begins to pester him about his battle-scars. He tells a deep mythic tale about an angel leaving God, while the devil hunts him. Shot in Durban and directed by independent director, Dayakar Padayachee, this allegorical short film about the state of control, illustrates that the truth could be hidden right under your nose.
