    Report coverage

    This report on the film, gaming and animation industry and rental of film equipment provides an overview of the state and size of the industry, including box office, pay-TV subscription, development funding, film and other local production, distribution, trends, notable players, regulation and new technology.

    Introduction

    • South Africa’s film industry has been an important generator of foreign investment and has earned the country a global reputation as a preferred destination for filming. • Some animation studios have also attracted global interest. • The film industry was severely affected during the pandemic and is slowly recovering. • Ster-Kinekor has emerged from business rescue, and box office revenue is expected to grow significantly in 2023. • Pay-TV and streaming services are becoming mainstream and preferred broadcast options. • Gauteng and Western Cape account for the most film, animation and gaming activity. • Domestic films continue to account for a small percentage of releases and revenue. • Challenges include loadshedding that has reduced viewing time and access to target markets for advertisers. • High inflation and unemployment have put pressure on the affordability of pay-TV and streaming services.

    Outlook

    • The film industry is recovering from the setbacks caused by the pandemic, but it is yet to reach pre-pandemic levels. • There has been increase in film permits and location bookings, and international studios have returned to filming in South Africa. • South Africa continues to have some competitive advantages in terms of its varied locations, film industry incentives, and cost advantages for international production companies. • Continued growth is expected in the volume of local content being produced, especially series, but there is concern about the small number of films produced locally. • The economic environment and continued loadshedding do not provide an environment for a growing local film industry. • It is expected that international film releases will continue to dominate the local market.

    Report Coverage

    This report covers various components of the film industry, including film, animation, gaming and the renting of film equipment. The film industry includes film, documentary and television content production, commercials, animation and gaming. The report includes comprehensive information on the state of the industry, box office and market share statistics, and developments. There are profiles of 60 companies including film distributors such as Filmfinity, animation companies such as Triggerfish, major studios such as Cape Town Film Studios and equipment companies including Panavision and Rental and Workflows.

    Film, Gaming and Animation Industry, and the Renting of Film Equipment

    High speed internet and increased accessibility have been game changers for the film, animation and gaming industry. Online streaming services such as Netflix and Showmax have changed the way people consume TV and film. Streaming has also changed the way copyright and licensing agreements are structured. Coronavirus has had a massive impact on the film industry as cinemas closed, filming stopped initially and online streaming and gaming burgeoned. Local television production was declared an essential service and continued with restrictions.

    Dominance of the Big Players

    The biggest obstacle to a flourishing industry in South Africa is the stranglehold that the broadcasters have on the sector in terms of ownership of content. This is changing as the monopoly that the SABC, M-Net and eTV have is being challenged because of the streaming opportunities presented by Netflix in particular. Local film companies are now able to secure deals with global reach.

    Barriers to Entry

    Content creation is capital intensive and requires high level technology and high level skill sets, and professional film schools are costly. The film industry relies heavily on the broadcasters to secure money for production. Filmmaking is resource intensive and securing funds to produce films is highly competitive, as is funding for marketing and distribution. But technology is increasing accessibility and making production more cost-effective, and it is relatively easy to set up a small-scale film company.

    Report Coverage

    The report on the South African Filmmaking, Animation and Gaming sector describes the current conditions, the challenges facing local filmmakers and animators in the competitive global market and factors influencing the success of the industry. The report also profiles 70 South African companies, including film equipment suppliers such as Gearhouse South Africa (Pty) Ltd, film and TV production companies ranging from the well-known Urban Brew Studios (Pty) Ltd to DO Productions (Pty) Ltd which employs four people. Companies involved in the animation and gaming sub-sectors such as SMMEs, Strika Entertainment (Pty) Ltd and Screwy Lightbulb (Pty) Ltd are also profiled.

    Film, Animation and Gaming

    This report focuses on the film industry as well as the animation and gaming sectors. The most recent figures available indicate that the film industry contributed R3.5bn to the South African economy in 2012 and grew 14% per annum between 2007 and 2012. Showing phenomenal growth is the gaming industry, which generated revenue of approximately R53m in 2014, an increase of 82% from 2013.

    Positive Developments

    Government has identified the film industry as a vehicle to create employment and as a result, has implemented funding to support domestic and emerging filmmakers, and tax incentives to attract international filmmakers. High quality infrastructure and highly skilled crew and support staff have resulted in growing demand from international producers for the use of South Africa’s filmmaking facilities. Competition among television content producers for commissions from broadcasters is also expected to increase when DTT migration happens by 2017. The local animation industry received a boost after the international success of Triggerfish’s first feature film Adventures in Zambezi, and the gaming sector continues to grow as mobile and device adoption increases.
