Rose and Oaks Media, a prominent South African film and television production company, has made headlines with its latest feature film, ‘Don’t Let’s Go to the Dogs Tonight’.

The film, which premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) this year, has been met with glowing reviews and critical acclaim.

A Standout Film of 2024

Directed by the talented Embeth Davidtz, this film has emerged as one of the standout cinematic works of 2024.

Among a diverse array of international films showcased at TIFF, ‘Don’t Let’s Go to the Dogs Tonight’ distinguished itself as a major highlight of the festival, which concluded earlier this week.

Based on a Bestselling Book

The film is an adaptation of the book by Alexandra Fuller, which shares the same title.

Fuller’s book, a New York Times Best Seller, has been highly acclaimed, and the film adaptation continues this tradition of excellence.

The film stars eight-year-old Lexi Venter in her debut role as Bobo, the central character.

Davidtz herself takes on the role of Nicola, Bobo’s mother who is grappling with grief.

The film also features notable performances from Zikhona Bali, Fumani N. Shilubana, Rob van Vuuren, and Anina Reed, all of whom dazzled on the TIFF red carpet this past weekend.
