The 8th annual South African Independent Film Festival (SAIFF) is starting! From December 5th to 7th, movie lovers will be enjoying films at The Labia Theatre, where the seats are filling up and the popcorn is ready.
Based on the preview, Cape Town movie fans are in for a fantastic weekend. This year’s film festival, led by director Ryan Kruger (who made films like Fried Barry and Street Trash), looks set to be a bold and unconventional celebration of storytelling.
A Feast for the Senses
The 8th annual SAIFF offers a diverse selection of films, seamlessly blending local stories with international cinema. With so many choices, from intense dramas to innovative storytelling, there’s something for every movie lover to enjoy.
The showcase featured several standout films, including the gripping documentary Death of a Whistleblower by Ian Gabriel and the unique western Thus Spake Zolani directed by Clive Will. The selection offered a diverse range of genres, from suspenseful thrillers like Hunting Jessica Brok, Bark, and 3 Cold Dishes, to the quirky comedy Ebony & Ivory, creating a rich experience for independent film lovers.
More Than Just Movies
The Savannah International Film Festival has grown into a central meeting place for filmmakers and film lovers. In addition to showing films, attendees can also enjoy:
We’ll have insightful panel discussions about the latest industry trends, master classes led by top professionals, and networking parties – the perfect place to connect and collaborate.
Faces of the Festival
You could really feel the excitement in the air. We spoke with Ryan Kruger, the person leading the festival, and Suraya Rose Santos, a talented actress, producer, and one of the judges this year.
One of the highlights of the evening was a showing of Jordy Sank’s short film, Amazeze. The film is technically impressive, appearing as if it was filmed in a single, unbroken shot, and it’s a great example of the kind of creative work the festival celebrates.
