Ranging from musical comedy and science fiction to and Anglo Boer War horror story and a Muslim burial family drama, from 28 August the 12th kykNET Silwerskermfees will bring the footfall of established and new film professionals to Camps Bay and a festival line-up that features six feature films, six short films, eight short films by emerging filmmakers, along with five documentaries.

Once again taking place in Cape Town's seabreeze-filled Camps Bay suburb, festival-goers will get to talk show inside the Bay Hotel and Theatre on the Bay while attending various masterclasses, themed panel discussions and workshops, while getting the chance to gaze at episodes of new TV pilots.

The festival will conclude on 31 August with the ritzy blue-carpeted Silwerskerm award ceremony at the Cape Town International Convention Centre (CTICC) which will be broadcast a day later on 1 September on kykNET (DStv 144).

"We believe in the future of Afrikaans film and television, in the importance of a wide variety of voices, and in the power of stories to change people's lives," says Waldimar Pelser, director of M-Net Premium Channels.

"The kykNET Silwerskermfees film festival aims to do everything possible to discover new storytellers, put talent in the spotlight, and to provide the industry with a space where people can talk, show and come together, with Afrikaans as the glue that binds us," he says.

"The film industry changes constantly, and it certainly faces many economic challenges. Therefore, it is important for kykNET to produce, and help produce films and TV that are commercially amenable, and that will reach the biggest possible audiences in order to keep the industry sustainable."

"We will also continue, even if on a smaller scale, to invest in niche projects that are less commercial but valuable in the context of our culture and our country."

“We believe in the future of Afrikaans film and television, in the importance of a wide variety of voices, and in the power of stories to change people’s lives.”

These are the thoughts of Waldimar Pelser, director of M-Net Premium Channels, on the 12th kykNET Silwerskerm Festival, held from 28 to 31 August this year at the Bay Hotel and Theatre on the Bay in Camps Bay.

“The kykNET Silwerskerm Festival aims to do everything possible to discover new storytellers, put talent in the spotlight, and to provide the industry with a space where people can talk, show and come together, with Afrikaans as the glue that binds us,” he says.

For more than a decade now, the Silwerskerm Festival is regarded as one of the most respected development projects in the local film industry, and this year kykNET will build further on this strong foundation.

One of the festival’s key elements is the already successful short film mentorship project that enables kykNET to provide a springboard for launching a new generation of filmmakers’ careers.

In 2023 the project expanded to include documentaries, and this year the exciting shotgun short film initiative will feature prominently. The shotgunshorts concept was launched last year when established filmmakers were invited to submit proposals for professional short films, and in August these films will be introduced at the festival.

Besides the six shotgun short films, six feature films, eight short films (by emerging movie makers) and five short documentaries will debut this year.

The inclusion of pilot episodes of brand-new series on television and streaming services, proved to be a hit last year, and this year festivalgoers can again look forward to exclusive previews.

As in the past, kykNET will bring several experts to the festival to present informative workshops, panel discussions and masterclasses. Among the topics to be discussed are intimacy management on film sets,
