South Africa is proudly showcasing 12 Feature Films and eight documentaries at this year’s Cannes Film Festival!

At least a hundred South African film-makers have gathered in Cannes this weekend to promote their projects, and seek funding, co-production or distribution deals, which is what the Cannes market is all about.

South African’s Minister of Arts and Culture will also be here in Cannes to sign a co-production treaty with Ireland (we’ll be there to report on it tomorrow).

So the flag is flying high – and it makes you proud to be South African, especially when you don’t live there anymore…and you see the quality of what’s coming out of the country. It’s fantastic.
