Khulekani Mayisa’s new film, Power to the Purple, is an intensely personal collaborative project.

Can you tell me about your process? It looks like writing is a key aspect. The films are very lyrical, both visually and verbally: in happened in my honours year in 2018. I was studying television at the University of Johannesburg. It started with me exploring colours. So I figured, okay, if I use one consistent theme, and give it like a different sort of connotation, because you know, red is associated with danger, love, passion, et cetera.

So I married the two art forms I love: writing and film. I promised myself that I would go forward working with other poets and other writers. And that’s how I got, there’s a development of your style. How did you know who to use as the voice? For you, what stylistic leaps are there when you look at the two works?
