From Matieland to motherland : landscape, identity and place in feature films set in the Cape Province, 1947-1989.

This thesis analyses the representation of landscape, place and identity in films set in the Cape between 1947 and 1989. These films are products of a "white", largely state-subsidised film industry, although they include a small number of independent, "alternative" films. A critical reading of these cinematic "apartheid landscapes" provides evidence of the historical context, discourses and values informing their production, as well as the construction and transformation of place and identity in apartheid South Africa.
