The 5th annual Simon Mabhunu Sabela Film and Television Awards announced that the call for entries would close on 2 May 2017. The deadline has now been extended to 9 May 2017 for all 21 categories. Production companies, accredited film schools and association as well as other film bodies are encouraged to participate. For more information visit the KwaZulu-Natal Film Commission website.
The awards, an initiative of the Economic Development Tourism and Environmental Affairs (EDTEA), are supported by the KwaZulu-Natal Film Commission and endorsed by the Sabela Family. The awards are aimed at celebrating the craft of filmmaking and encouraging aspiring and established filmmakers.
The Simon Sabela Film and Television Awards are a closed event, which is strategically aligned with the Durban International Film Festival (DIFF) and is therefore attended by DIFF delegates and local filmmakers.
