Film Shoots in South Africa
The film industry is alive and well in South Africa and is gaining competitively on the international stage. Local and international film directors are taking advantage of South Africa’s diversity as a film location as well as the low production costs and favourable exchange rate. Did you know it is up to 40% cheaper to produce a movie in South Africa than it is in Europe or America?
A host of internationally acclaimed blockbuster movies have been filmed in South Africa to date including Blood Diamond, Lord of War, and Tsotsi to name a few.
Opportunities abound, with the makers of movies, commercials and other productions being attracted by South Africa's highly skilled film crews and film technicians, excellent technical capacity and infrastructure - as well as the good weather.
