Durban film industry gets R32 million government grant

The KwaZulu-Natal government has set aside a little over R32 million to fund film production and development projects, and a further R1, 6 million to support local film festivals during the year.

The funding is an acknowledgement of the growing socio-economic role of the film industry to the Durban and greater KZN areas.

It also indicates an awareness that the local film industry has suffered serious setbacks due to Covid-19, and Government’s financial support will help kickstart the film industry’s recovery efforts.

The grant will be administerd through the KwaZulu-Natal Film Commission (KZNFC)
