Craig Cameron-Mackintosh is an artist, writer and first-time filmmaker based in Cape Town, South Africa. Billy Monk – Shot in the Dark pays homage to the late Billy Monk and his evocative black and white photographs, in an intimate and stylised short documentary.
Billy Monk was a bouncer and nightclub photographer in 1960s Cape Town. Fifty years after Billy Monk captured this hidden slice of Cape Town’s history, this intimate documentary brings together key characters in his story – one that is far from black and white.
