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 acclaim, showcasing local talent and stories. In recent years, the industry has also seen increased investment and collaboration with global filmmakers. The National Film and Video Foundation (NFVF) supports local productions, while film festivals like the Durban International Film Festival promote South African cinema. This growth has helped elevate the country's presence in the global film landscape.
