TELEVISION AND STREAMER CONTENT
Since 2023, the Silwerskerm programme line-up started to include sneak peeks of television and streamer content as a vibrant addition to the festival. This means the Afrikaans film content landscape is now hosted, stimulated and celebrated in its entirety at the unique networking opportunity the festival offers. Pilot episodes of drama and documentary series as well as reality and entertainment shows are screened, and these storytellers enjoy the glitz and glamour of the festival alongside their filmmaking peers.
