The Sandton Film Festival is the first of its kind in the greater Sandton area, north of Johannesburg. Sandton is without a doubt one of the most popular destinations in South Africa, both for leisure and for business.
The Sandton Film Festival combines great business opportunities with leisure. The relaxed environment will allow festival goers to enjoy the various films and documentaries whilst also mingling with top businessmen and investors looking for future projects to invest in. The Sandton Film Festival will be where business and film meet, and grow together as one.
This opportunity has no boundaries and films and documentaries of all lengths (feature or short) are welcome to submit.
The festival also offers a screenwriting competition where scripts submitted will be judged by professional screenwriters and prizes awarded to the winning scripts.
After a successful submission, all films are judged by our selection of jurors. Following this, a Top 50 list is formed and published on our website and social media platforms. These Top 50 films compete for the various prizes on offer with the winning films being screened at our screening in November 2023.
