The countdown is on! The 19th Annual South African Film & Television Awards (SAFTAs19) are around the corner, and the National Film and Video Foundation (NFVF) is calling on all local production companies to submit their work before the deadline on 3rd October 2025.
This is your chance to showcase your craft on South Africa’s biggest stage, where excellence, innovation, and storytelling take centre stage. The SAFTAs are not just an award show—they are a celebration of the people, passion, and creativity that fuel the film and television industry.
Since their establishment in 2005, the SAFTAs have become a cornerstone of the industry, honouring over 70 categories each year and uplifting both established names and rising stars. Winning the coveted Golden Horn, with its three heads representing collective effort, community, and collaboration, is the ultimate recognition of what it means to create magic together.
For nearly two decades, the SAFTAs have been a platform where talent meets opportunity, where stories told with heart and imagination are given their moment to shine. Now it’s your turn—don’t let your masterpiece sit in the shadows.
Deadline: 3 October 2025
