01/08/2022

Johannesburg, 1 August 2022. It's awards season and the eagerly anticipated South African Film & Television Awards (SAFTAs) nominations were announced on Thursday, 14 July 2022 across all its digital platforms. The 16th edition of the ceremony highlights the theme Frame the Future , an appeal for the industry to craft a new path forward.

#SAFTAs16 will be a virtual extravaganza, where the Craft Awards will be broadcast on 2 September on YouTube and the Main Awards ceremony will take place on 3 September 2022 as a simulcast on S3 and Mzansi Magic. In keeping with the theme Frame the Future the format of the production will be in a virtual format in an even more engaging way than how SAFTAs15 was executed.
