"In Jeppe on a Friday Shannon Walsh and Arya Lalloo bring together a team of women directors to explore a different city: the Johannesburg that beats in the men who occupy it. The result is an intimate, quiet portrait of five people from Jeppestown as they grapple with the existential and mundane over the course of a single day." "These characters reveal the city's specific textures, but also universal human experience ... Part travelogue, part urban allegory, Jeppe on a Friday draws from a rich tradition of city-centered direct cinema, and offers a record of life in Johannesburg that demystifies the often maligned male-dominated metropolis."--Container.
