The Hollywood African Cinema Connection in Cape Town aims to revolutionise the African film industry by showcasing local talent and leveraging innovative technologies.

Oscar-nominated Hollywood producer from Hollywoodland DAO, Rachel Winter, South African film director Sylvia Vollenhoven, Korean LA-based producer Summin Parker and film director Weaam Williams , who is the creative director of HACC . The four were on the panel at the Women in Film, North meets South in LA last year at the HACC 's first edition. Cape Town , South Africa – The Hollywood African Cinema Connection is set to become a defining moment for African film-makers in 2025.

“As an independent film-maker who has participated in festivals worldwide, I know first-hand the frustrations of returning home to an industry that often favours international productions over local talent.

“Sponsors who are keen to align themselves with the future of African cinema are invited to partner with HACC. By supporting this innovative festival, sponsors will not only be associating with a future-forward event but will also gain access to exclusive branding opportunities. This is your chance to be a part of something monumental that will reshape film-making on the continent,” says Thandikaya Ncosani, stakeholder manager.content demand rising 40% yearly.

“Independent film-makers, including myself, have often encountered frustration with distributors who profit from international sales. Audits provided are often vague, and film-makers have little recourse for transparency. However, blockchain technology offers a new solution. Through the use of Web3, smart contracts on a blockchain ledger, we can ensure that the percentages of sales are split immediately, giving creators the fair compensation they deserve.

Meanwhile, Cape Town’s vibrant atmosphere, combined with its proximity to trendy Bree Street, the Waterfront, and Sea Point, will provide the perfect backdrop for this event. The HACC is poised to inject new life into the local film industry, providing opportunities for both established and emerging film-makers to connect, collaborate, and grow.
