Why South Africa?

South Africa is a one stop shop for locations, you name it we can match it.

Cape Town’s location offering is so vast you could film repeat seasons and never know you were in the same city.

From pristine, white sand beaches to endless km’s of rugged coast. From dramatic, epic mountains to undulating wheat fields. From desert white sand dunes to dense forest.

In terms of architecture our heritage, period buildings mimic the streets of 1920’s London to present day New York. From cosmopolitan Clifton and Camps Bay villas and coastal strip which transports you to the Amalfi coast to a simple unit move to a Brazilian favella just 30minutes along the national highway.

The multicoloured houses and cobbled streets of the Bokaap nestled ‘above the cape’ cast looking over the V & A Waterfront and working harbour are a working blank canvas.

A drive along the R44 in a period action vehicle sets the perfect driving plates along the Pacific Coast Highway

Inland the Karoo rock formations are a national heritage, and the national highways create a perfect set for mid-western actions.

If you need to build it, the backlot options are endless, and state of the art stages have never failed any production designer before.

A short travel delivers you into the Northern cape where you will experience vast arid vistas unlike anything you have seen before. The scattered quiver trees amongst the rock formations translates into a dystopian visual mastery. A short flight inland, you are in the veld highlands regions of Mpumalanga, home to the Blyde River Canyon, game reserves and mystical forest. Further right, Kwazulu Natal transforms the countryside/Terrain into a sub-tropical paradise. Rain forests, waterfalls, mangroves, and 2000 km of unchartered coastline.

Film Afrika Sustainable Productions with GREENSET

Film Afrika in association with GREENSET delivered an Albert3-star rated show, Noughts & Crosses S1, as early as 2019 and is the only production company in South Africa to have delivered ALBERT-certified productions. Film Afrika together with their producing partners have funded the GREENSET Carbon Calculator and the GREENSET training program. In addition, they have also launched the sustainable film production program in South Africa, making it possible for all productions to onboard sustainability trainees and to minimise and measure their carbon footprint. GREENSET is a non-profit company, a branch of the SA Film Academy. A total of 30 Eco Stewards and Green PAs have been trained.

Working with the GREENSET sustainability graduates to decarbonise the film industry, Film Afrika productions funded the building of a Polyurethane recycling machine, this machine has revolutionised the recycling of Polyurethane, a global first in the industry. Film Afrika continues to work on each production with GREENSET to reduce, reuse and recycle.
