The Cape Town film industry is positively booming with the City of Cape Town describing the 2022/2023 financial year as the busiest post-COVID-19 pandemic.
, the city said the latest numbers represent a “significant improvement in interest in Cape Town as a film destination”:
“This past season we have seen a number of international feature film and TV series productions heading to our shores as we steadily recover from the impact of the pandemic,” said safety and security MMC JP Smith. “The local film industry has also done an incredible job in attracting international brands to film their commercials here in Cape Town.”
The local film industry has also been incredible for our country’s economic growth. A study commissioned by the city shows that the film industry contributes about R5 billion to the local economy each year and has created more than 35 000 jobs. “The uptake in filming the past year is made possible by Cape Town’s reputation as a world-class local film industry, by having a competent and efficient film office and some of the best locations in the world within a few kilometres of the city centre,” said Smith.
