Hard To Get, a South African film by Zee Ntuli, has been selected to screen at the London Film Festival which takes place from 8 to 19 October at venues across the city.

As one of the worlds longest running film festivals, participating international films are exposed to an expanding London and UK audience while filmmakers are given a unique profiling opportunity to enhance their careers.

Director Ntuli says of his first feature film featuring at the event, I am very excited that Hard To Get has been accorded this honour. This is not a big budget movie at all but it was made with love and passion and this commitment from all involved in the project translated onto the screen. I have also been very fortunate to have been nurtured and strongly supported by two wonderful producers Junaid Ahmed and Helena Spring in my first feature project as writer/director.

Ahmed comments, This project has been an absolute rollercoaster given the fact that we were still shooting in March this year! Hard To Get was selected as the opening night film at the 35th Durban International Film Festival in July and released in cinemas last week. Now this wonderful news of being selected for the London Film Festival! It s also very exciting to work with new South African talent who are creating a new cinematic landscape in South Africa.

The festival described the film as: a compact, highly enjoyable and kinetic action thriller that unfurls at breakneck speed in downtown Johannesburg. With its elegant and atmospheric camerawork, Hard To Get draws us into South Africa s nefarious criminal fraternity with aplomb.
