One house, built to make, move and sell the moving image.

Production

More than 80 feature films and documentaries since 1986.

Across South Africa, the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada and Hong Kong, with an aggregate budget value in excess of one billion rand. From the first anti-apartheid feature shot on South African soil to a Golden Globe and an Academy Award nomination, the production slate is the spine of the house.

• South Africa's first Academy Award nomination, for Yesterday
• Berlin, Venice, Toronto, Cannes and Sundance selections

More than 3,500 international titles, released into South Africa.

For over twenty-five years Videovision has brought the world's cinema to South African audiences, theatrically and on home video, from independent and foreign-language work to the largest Hollywood releases. It is the work of building an audience, and a market, over decades.

• Selma, Suffragette, Vice, Viceroy's House, Pride, The Odyssey
• Home entertainment through Next Entertainment for the major studios
• Theatrical and home video across Southern Africa

Television

Primetime drama, and a catalogue now selling to the world.

Videovision produces some of South Africa's most-watched long-form television, including the primetime telenovelas Imbewu: The Seed and House of Zwide. In 2023 the company launched a television and sales division, taking a catalogue of more than 100 features and over 10,000 hours of programming to the international market.

• Imbewu: The Seed and House of Zwide, SABC primetime
• Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? for South Africa, three seasons
• 10,000+ hours of programming now for sale to the world

International sales

South African stories, carried to the world.

Distant Horizon, the wholly-owned international arm with offices in London and Los Angeles, is how the work leaves home. It is the bridge between a Durban production house and the festivals, broadcasters and buyers of the world, and the reason a film made in KwaZulu-Natal can open in Toronto, Cannes or Monaco.

• Worldwide sales and distribution, London and Los Angeles
• Co-productions with international partners and broadcasters
• The route from Durban to Cannes, Toronto, Berlin and Venice
