Having started on 23 January, the Limpopo Next Gen Film Festival is the first ever province-wide distribution which aims to screen over 35 projects in about 150 venues across the province, free of charge.

This is an exciting time for newcomers in the local film industry as this inaugural film festival is aimed at youth filmmakers across the provinces with projects made between December 2019 and January 2023, says Anna Mahlangu of Limpopo Home Cinema.

She adds that several screenings will be conducted at the audience's doorstep via mobile cinema screenings in high schools, tertiary institutions, public halls and arts theatres over the period of 6 weeks.

Eligible genres include Movies, Documentaries, Narrative Music Videos, Stand-up Comedies, Theatre Sketches, and reality shows.
