Cape Town – The Toronto Film Festival is in full swing.
And in case you missed it there are three South African films premiering at the prestigious festival. (Read more here)
One of them is High Fantasy directed by Jenna Bass.
The film centres on a group of friends who go on a camping trip and upon waking up discover that that have body swapped.
What makes it ground-breaking is that the film was entirely shot on an iPhone.
It stars newcomers Qondiswa James, Liza Scholtz, Nala Khumalo, and Francesca Miche.
Watch the trailer here:
The film premiered at TIFF earlier this week to rave reviews.

.@HighFantasySA is a fresh & bold take on young people grappling with their identities, after a freaky body swap. A must see! #TIFF17 pic.twitter.com/wx3ImBv2Jw

#HighFantasy is so damn good! It may actually knock the Lindsay/Jamie Lee Freaky Friday out of first place for best body swap movie! #TIFF17 pic.twitter.com/LYzZ1BXwo1

HIGH FANTASY is boundary-pushing filmmaking. Pitch-perfect performances. I'll be mulling it over for weeks to come. #TIFF2017
