Our Work
African Jim
We’re proud to have partnered with Villon Films and Alex Wilson on the restoration of a truly historic title in South African cinema. Our restoration helped revive the film for new audiences to experience and study. It marked the screen debut of the legendary Dolly Rathebe and was directed by Donald Swanson. The 50-minute drama follows Jim, a young man who leaves his tribal homeland for the city of Johannesburg in search of a better life. What unfolds is a mix of hardship, music, and resilience, all set against the vibrant but dangerous city nightlife.
The film was 4K Scanned, Graded and Restored by R3store Studios.
