If you are a film fanatic and around the City of Johannesburg, come have a ball at the forthcoming Joburg Film Festival. The fifth edition of the festival returns with a bang on 31 January 2023 and will run until Sunday, 5 February 2023, in partnership with MultiChoice “to create an exciting and independent platform that not only tells Africa’s stories, but curates, showcases and rewards local and international excellence in film”.

Aimed at young people between the ages of 18 and 35, the festival seek to prioritise the growth and development of South African and African filmmakers.

Joburg Film Festival Executive Director Tim Mangwedi said: “The 2023 edition of the festival will once again attract thousands of visitors to Gauteng, with a focal point of activities at Nelson Mandela Square, which will include screenings and industry events.”
