Fitting in
In this carefully observed film, a group of young South African men from various walks of life begin their student experience at the elite University of Stellenbosch. Stellenbosch held a central place in academic life during the apartheid era. Beyond the structural racism that continues to define life in Stellenbosch and the country as a whole, the campus has been the site of several racist incidents.ย Fitting inย spends a year within the walls of Eendrag, a male residence, which, like the rest of the campus, is impacted by the tension between present dynamics of transformation and a colonial past that is still palpableโsomething that many of the new generation believe must be fundamentally addressed. This is a timely film, whose explorations of masculinity through the lens of race, class and tradition will resonate far beyond the borders of South Africa.
