Stories have always been essential for people to make sense of their existence. The kykNET Silwerskerm Festival is a highly regarded South African film and content festival that has supported, empowered, and developed the local industry for the past 13 years. It is here, in picturesque Camps Bay, that original South African stories are cherished and celebrated annually.

Alongside world or South African premieres of the latest feature films, the Silwerskerm Festival showcases the work of young talent through a diverse range of short films and short documentaries produced with the festival’s financial support and mentorship. Short films by experienced filmmakers aim to move audiences and inspire emerging talent. The packed festival programme includes panel discussions, workshops, and industry-focused masterclasses presented by renowned local and international experts. The prestigious Silwerskerm Awards for Film and Television honour outstanding achievements. The festival also screens selected films elsewhere in Cape Town, featuring exciting free community screenings in underserved communities.
