Cape Town and the Western Cape have, over the past 10 years, developed into a globally competitive film industry destination. The film industry has been able to attract a significant amount of productions to Cape Town, which, in turn, contributed significantly to the growth of the film industry.
It is now clearly recognised as a significant film industry destination that is able to compete with the best in the world.
The Imbongi Award is an acknowledgment to the film industry as a whole and the individuals who have all contributed to this success.
These awards will be recognising, rewarding and honouring individuals and companies for outstanding achievement in pre-production, production and post-production work within the Cape film industry.
The response and call to the industry to be part of this prestigious event has been overwhelming.
