Featured Story

The Road Ahead

Last year was a landmark one for the local industry with films like 'District 9' and 'Invictus' firmly placing South Africa on the blockbuster map, but the global recession and crises at the SABC severely affected local production.

Andrew Worsdale looks back on a tough year, seeks out the word on the ground and discovers a grounded optimism that shows promise.
