From the Ashes of an Idea

Directed by Frank Scheffer | 2026

In From the Ashes of an Idea, director Frank Scheffer takes part in a residency at the Centre for the Less Good Idea by South African artist William Kentridge. Art as a collective process is central here: individual control is abandoned, while collectively, improvisation and failure are the engine of creation and colonial legacies are questioned.
