Carey McKenzie

A visionary of South African cinema, Carey McKenzie was born in Johannesburg, South Africa in 1964 and has been active in the film industry since the early 1990s. Known for her work in the thriller and drama genres, her most prominent film, "Cold Harbour" (2014), brought her international recognition and acclaim, though major festival awards have so far eluded her. Her authorial style often fuses elements of suspense and social commentary, reflecting the unique cultural and political landscape of her home country. From a more personal perspective, one cannot help but admire McKenzie's tenacity and passion for storytelling, which shine through even in the most intense moments of her films.
