From 2 to 30 May 2024, the South African Film Festival (SAFF) will once again bring the very best of contemporary South African film to the Australian audience, both in-cinema and online.
April marks 30 years since the first democratic election in South Africa when for the first time in the country’s history, all citizens could vote for their future.
To mark this auspicious occasion, SAFF 2024 features some iconic films from the past 30 years, including close-to-the-bone classic documentaries like 1994: The Bloody Miracle, and the story of how South Africa’s 1995 Rugby World Cup win galvanized and united the nation, The 16th Man. Another highlight of this year’s festival is undoubtedly Oliver Schmitz’s masterpiece, Mapantsula, restored to 4K glory and featured on the big screen for a new generation.
