The City of Cape Town, with its Film Cape Town partners, hosted the annual Film Industry Engagement to discuss the upcoming summer film season, the recovery of the industry post Covid-19 and changes to city legislation.

The City’s proposed Film Policy and proposed amendments to the Film By-Law were among the matters under discussion at the hybrid event held at the CTICC yesterday.

The draft film policy, currently undergoing legislative processes at the portfolio committee, seeks to update the existing Film Policy and Protocol 2004, to remedy some of the current challenges and to work towards a sustainable, resilient local film industry.
