Noma ubani okuke uVincent Mantsoe esiteji uzokwazi isipiliyoni esingeso futhi esiseduze sokubamba iqhaza kulokho obekuvame ukuzwakala njengokuhlangana ngokomoya; lapho umuntu ahlangana khona neminye imihlaba, lapho okhokho behleba khona futhi becula. Imisebenzi yakhe ithatha ababukeli ohambweni bangene ezindaweni ezijulile, isitayela sakhe somuntu ngamunye sihlanganyela futhi sahlukile.
Emhlanganweni obanjelwe nge-inthanethi obanjwe ngomhlaka 29 Meyi, uMantsoe ukhulume nobunzima bokwakha umsebenzi we-inthanethi, okumele aphathe ubuchwepheshe kanye nomuzwa wokuthi unqunywe ngempela nasendaweni enamakhamera amabili kuphela; akukho ukuxhumana kwababukeli ababukhoma lapho angasebenzisa khona amandla akhe.
Wadalwa ukude ngokubambisana nomculi uMpho Molikeng nomenzi wama filimu uFrank Pizon, uMantsoe uyedwa, uhlala yedwa estudiyo sakhe eFrance. Ukuphakama kukaMolikeng, imisindo ephikisayo (okwenziwe kusetshenziswa izinsimbi eziningi zomdabu zase-Afrika) kufana neziphithiphithi eza le-Covid, umsindo ohlale ikhona kanye nokulayishwa kwezindaba, isikhathi sesikrini kanye nemicabango yethu ehlukumezekile. Mhlawumbe angamazwi ahlanganiswe ekhanda likaMantsoe.
Ngaphakathi kobunzima, uzama ukuhlala ekhululekile egeleza nokunyakaza komzimba wakhe nokuphefumula kwakhe ; umoya wakhe udonsa futhi ucindezela umoya. Kujengokungathi ebiza loxhumano olwedlulayo noma ngomugqa kwamanye amazwe, efuna ukuthula nokuzola. Izandla zikaMantsoe zisho izindaba eziyinkulungwane njengoba zishunqa, zixhawula futhi zisonteka.
Ngiyezwa izinsimbi zezinkomo zishaya, zisheshisa ijubane njengoba isikrini esimnyama esakha umsebenzi siqina futhi sinwebeka, uphawu lokuvalwa kwethu ezikhaleni ezincishisiwe; amehlo ethu anciphisiwe ngathi, azikho iziphazamiso, ukuxila okuphelele.
UMantsoe wenza sengathi ikhamera ayikho. Ukukhungatheka nenkathazo yangaphakathi kuphanga umzimba wakhe njengoba ebiza konke akubambayo, emunca umoya futhi akukhiphe. Ubhekana nomzamo wokulawula, ukucindezela umzwelo, ukubamba konke ndawonye. Umjuluko wehla kuye, ihembe lakhe lamanziswa.
Ekugcineni, ukwehlisa ijubane, amahlombe akhuphukayo futhi awe, ukunyakaza kokuqhaqhazela kwakhe kugcina sekwehlise ukuqina njengoba ephuma kancane kuhlaka lwekhamera, ukuthula kwakhe kwabuyela.
Noma ngabe yikuphi ukubhuka kukaMantsoe, amandla endalo emsebenzini abopha futhi abaningi, abangakaze bawubone umsebenzi wakhe, lokhu kuyimpahla ebalulekile futhi kuhola indlela ngokuya ngezifundo ezintsha zobuhle.
I-“Cut” ngumsebenzi we-inthanethi wemizuzu eyu-16 kaVincent Mantsoe owenziwe ngokubambisana okukude nombhali wezingoma nomculi uMpho Molikeng weseLesotho, nomenzi wamafilim uFrank Pizon waseFrance.
