The Apollo Film Festival is an annual event designed to showcase the best of South African and African Independent Films. It will take place at the Apollo Theatre, Victoria West in the Northern Cape from September 20 to 27.

Taking place during the film festival will be the innovative One Minute Film Workshop where youngsters are equipped with the necessary theory and practical skills on how to capture a story in just one minute. Selected scripts will be workshopped with a view for submission to Sundance Scriptwriting LAB. Workshop particulars will be released once finalised.
