The Best of Film & Film Craft in South Africa 2024

Welcome to the first in a series of showcases celebrating the very best South African work in 2024. Our first showcase is the Best of Film & Film Craft awarded by the Loeries. Here we spotlight the best local talent making moving pictures. Save their names!

It was a tough year for our local industry with only around 190 Loerie awards given to South African campaigns, a win is a significant achievement. Congratulations.

Over the next month, we’ll be releasing more showcases including those for Digital, Radio, Print, and more. Each feature will celebrate exceptional work, highlighting the talent behind the campaigns and ensuring it’s seen by the top CMOs, marketers, creatives, and production professionals in the industry.

If you’ve worked on one of these incredible campaigns but don’t see your credit, it’s likely because your company isn’t an IDIDTHAT member yet. Don’t let your work go unrecognised visit IDIDTHAT.co or contact us at studio@ididthat.co to get your work featured.

Congratulations to all the Film winners! Stay tuned for the next category showcase.
