WESTERN CAPE:
A RESILIENT DESTINATION
The Western Cape comprises of six regions: Cape Town,
Cape Winelands, Cape West Coast, Cape Karoo, Cape
Overberg, and the Garden Route and Klein Karoo, and all
six are home to unique landscapes, architectural styles and
opportunities for film, TV, commercial and stills production.
Cape Town
This dynamic city is a world-renowned destination that brings
millions of business and leisure travellers to its shores. A wellestablished
film production and service locale, Cape Town is home to
a plethora of service production companies, crew,
cast, and every manner of supplier to the film industry. The
city is characterised by its beaches, mountains, cityscapes, townships
and adaptable infrastructure. One need only
glance at the city’s register of available locations to be inspired by
the creative possibilities. The ongoing drought has only strengthened
the city’s resilience, and by effective community engagement and
a change in daily habits, Cape Town remains steadfastly open for
business.
Cape Town is also home to the first world-class (custom built,
high-tech) Hollywood style film complex in Sub-Saharan Africa.
Film Cape Town was launched in 2018 and offers filmmakers a
wide range of information on bringing productions to the city. More

Cape Winelands
Verdant valleys and palatial wine farms dot the region, which has
well-developed infrastructure and is easily accessible from the
city. Stellenbosch is a mere 20 minutes’ drive from the CBD, and
the charming town of Franschhoek is only a stone’s throw further.
