Wild Season

Wild Season is a 1967 South African drama film directed by Emil Nofal and starring Gert Van den Bergh, Marie Du Toit and Antony Thomas.[1] A family operating a trawler off the South African coast, suffer a personal tragedy.

The film provoked a backlash in South Africa because it was bilingual and featured black actors in leading roles. It was also felt that it portrayed a negative, stereotypical portrayal of Afrikaners.[2] A number of scenes were directed by Jans Rautenbach, because Emil Nofal suffered from seasickness.

gollark: Wait, so if I find a big prime number and use the `factor` command on it, I can actually say that my computer is outperforming leading-edge quantum computers at that task?
gollark: One day quantum computers might even be able to do useful things faster than my phone!
gollark: Still, it's a thing. Definitely a thing.
gollark: We've reached a point where quantum computers can do *some stuff* faster than classical ones, in that while it would be theoretically possible to emulate... Sycamore, or whatever it was, the one Google or someone had for "quantum supremacy" or something... on a supercomputer, it would take several days to do what it did in two minutes.
gollark: Something like that?
