Africa-Press – Botswana. <\/strong><\/span>Starring supermodel Kaone Kario and Zenzo Ngqobe as a young couple, high profile short film, \u201cPartly Cloudy & Hot\u201d or PCH for short, has been nominated for two Best Short Film awards at the International Black and Diversity Film Festival in Canada.<\/b><\/p>\n

The locally produced film has been nominated for Best Picture in both the Canadian and the International categories.<\/p>\n

Says the film\u2019s executive producer, Donald Molosi, in a statement: \u201cThe double nomination is rare and exciting. It is an international recognition of Botswana film talent and our entire team is deeply grateful for that vote of confidence.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to PCH\u2019s production company, CattlePost Films, the double nomination came after the film\u2019s acceptance into the International Black and Diversity Film Festival in Canada last month.<\/p>\n

Ngqobe nominated for Best Actor<\/b><\/p>\n

The film festival is slated for Toronto in July where the producers and film stars are expected to fly to next month.<\/p>\n

Popular South African actor Ngqobe has also been nominated for Best Actor in Canada for his role in PCH.<\/p>\n

Lead actor in the film, Ngqobe, broke onto the acting scene in the Oscar-winning film, Tsotsi, in the role of Butcher. Since then, he has amassed critical acclaim for his work on The River, Redemption, Scandal and many other South African television shows.<\/p>\n

Ngqobe notably starred opposite Laurence Fishburne in the Netflix series, Madiba, about the life of Nelson Mandela.<\/p>\n

Upright Africans <\/b><\/p>\n

On how he ended up on a flight to Botswana to film PCH, the South African actor said that he had always wanted to do a Botswana film. \u201cI linked up with the executive producer, Molosi, and we started talking,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen he was ready, he invited me to come partner with him on this production. It was easy for me to agree because we are both Upright Africans.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ngqobe\u2019s co-star, Kario, added: \u201cI thank Molosi for trusting me with this story. His confidence was infectious during filming!\u201d<\/p>\n

Challenged manhood<\/b><\/p>\n

In \u201cPartly Cloudy & Hot,\u201d a husband\u2019s manhood is challenged when his wife hands him a male fertility test. Ngqobe and Kario play the film\u2019s couple, KB and Sara.<\/p>\n

Said Ngqobe of his role: \u201cI think PCH shows what men go through in our societies. It also shows that Botswana has great talent.\u201d<\/p>\n

PCH was filmed entirely in Botswana and features Tebogo Mokoto, Poloko Gladys Morobolo, Tulani Theo Tau and Special Ramatudung as supporting cast.<\/p>\n
