BIG SCREENS: Following its acclaimed premiere in December, the Namibian film ‘Skeleton Coast’ will screen at Ster-Kinekor Grove and Maerua Mall for two weeks starting Friday, 17 January.

As tensions rise after a team member’s mysterious death, the group grapples with the question: is one of them the culprit, or is the coast delivering a grim warning?The film boasts an international ensemble cast, including Eric Roberts, René Mena, Thapelo Mokoena, Ini Dima-Okojie, Tjuna Daringo, Mawuli Gavor, Cindy Mahlangu, and Damilola Adegbite. ‘Skeleton Coast’ promises to bring a gripping mix of intrigue and suspense to the big screen.In the photo, cast and crew at the official premiere.
