The South African film industry has grown significantly since the end of apartheid in the 1990s. It produces a variety of films, including dramas, comedies, and documentaries, often reflecting the country's diverse cultures and histories. Notable films like Tsotsi and District 9 have gained international recognition, showcasing local talent and stories. In recent years, the industry has attracted foreign investment and collaborations, leading to the establishment of film festivals such as the Durban International Film Festival. The government also supports the industry through funding and incentives, aiming to promote South African cinema both locally and globally.
