Dear Film Industry Stakeholder
The COVID-19 coronavirus had
forced us to put down our cameras and close our sets for the protection of
human lives. Many of our brilliant scripts, concepts and finished projects had
to be shelved because the entire world has ground to a halt. We now have an
opportunity to pick up where we left off with some of our work.
With National Government allowing
the film industry to resume work under level 4, the City of Cape Town has
resumed its permit processing. The Film Permit Office has developed Standard Operating Procedures (SOP), in line with the
Disaster Management Act regulations, to ensure all film workplaces are
safe and curb any spread of the virus.
It is our collective
responsibility, as we all go back to work, to ensure that we adhere to the
protocols as well as all other applicable regulations in terms of hygiene on
set to safeguard ours and the health of all those in production workplaces.
Good luck and stay safe!
Film Cape Town
