The South African Film Commission (SAFC) has been created and registered as an independent and non-profit organisation to help, serve, and promote South Africa's growing film industry and to complement the work being done by the National Film and Video Foundation (NFVF).
The South African Film Commission will not replace the Gauteng Film Commission, KZN Film Commission, the Cape Town Film Commission, the Durban Film Office or other film promotion offices in South Africa but will work as a broad, national body to supplement on a national level what these existing offices are doing for film and television production work in South Africa.
The South African Film Commission says its aim is to - on a national level - promote filmmakers in South Africa, the industry and job creation through partnerships with existing bodies. Because the South African Film Commission is independent it will work with a range of agencies, offices and industry bodies to develop and promote South Africa's film industry.
The South African Film Commission has started a website it will expand at www.southafricanfilmcommission.com and can be contacted at 021 701 0924.
