Jason Jacobs and Devon Delmar (South Africa) are co-writers and co-directors working under the collective KRAAL, based in Namaqualand. Their films draw on a deep connection to local culture, landscape and the non-human world, exploring consciousness and ecological relationships through a distinctly Namaqua lens. Their feature Carissa (2024) was selected for the Orizzonti section of the 81st Venice International Film Festival and was presented at CineMart 2022. The duo’s co-directed feature Variasies op ‘n Tema (2026) received support from the Hubert Bals Fund in 2024 and premiered at IFFR 2026, where it won the prestigious Tiger Award.
