In a world where human-centred creativity is greatly sought-after and increasingly rare, this independent film festival celebrates local and global filmmakers and their finest works at the Labia Theatre. The festival highlights independent cinema, featuring events in our most beautiful city, Cape Town, including red-carpet premieres, screenings with cast and crew present for Q&As, panels, parties and a prestigious awards ceremony.
