Cape Town’s tourism industry, as well as its local economy, will benefit from multiple international films and television series to be filmed in the area this year.

Sources in the movie industry told IOL that Mission Impossible 8 is one of the movies expected to be filmed in Cape Town and Durban this month.

The City also confirmed there are 1 017 film shoot permits authorised thus far, 181 of which were for January.

“Whilst we can’t mention names, we can say that through these international productions and the local industry, the province’s creative economy is helping overall economic recovery,” says Wrenelle Stander, Wesgro CEO.

“The Western Cape is an inspiring place to create, and we invite filmmakers from around the globe to come to our diverse region and engage our local creative industry.”

“In the upcoming months, Wesgro will be supporting the following local key festivals: Silwerskerm International Film Festival, Wavescape Film Festival, and Africa Games Week. We will also attend the Berlinale Film Market virtually to help attract more business to the Cape,” she adds.

South Africa’s local film industry is also working on some upcoming projects, including the Karoo-based TV series Recipes for Love and Murder. In addition, the biggest thriller film ever recorded in South Africa, Indemnity, is to be released in the United States this month.

Premier Alan Winde has also confirmed that bookings had doubled which included big international projects and multiple local TV series.
