Now in its 8th year running, the
Simon “Mabunu” Sabela KZN Film and Television Awards, are aimed at celebrating
the craft of filmmaking and to encourage aspiring and established local film
makers. The awards have since 2013 celebrated heroes, legends and veterans who
have made a mark in the film industry.
The Simon Sabela Film and
Television Awards are a closed event, which is strategically aligned with
the Durban
International Film Festival (DIFF) which is one of the biggest event
in the calendar of events in film as it attracts filmmakers from all the world
with emphasis on the celebration of African Content. The Simon “Mabhunu” Sabela
KZN Film and Television Awards is therefore attended by DIFF delegates and
local film makers.
The awards have grown from 5
categories to over 27 categories in 2020. This is a good sign of growth
and development within the KwaZulu-Natal province. The growth also speaks to
the amazing talent that continues to position KwaZulu-Natal as a force to be
reckoned with in both Film and Television.
