Cape Town's film scene is getting another boost, and this time, the spotlight is firmly on local storytellers ready to bring the Mother City to life on screen.
The City has officially opened applications for its latest film fund , inviting filmmakers to submit projects for support ahead of a 31 May 2026 deadline. The initiative, now in its third round, is part of a broader push to grow Cape Town's reputation as a global production destination while creating meaningful opportunities at home.
The film fund offers either financial backing or municipal services support to selected projects, with a strong emphasis on economic impact. Productions that can create jobs, stimulate local business activity and invest in skills development are likely to stand out.
