South African stories deserve more than a screen. They deserve an audience.

Research shows that over 77% of South Africans watch local content regularly. The interest is there. Now, it’s about helping those stories reach more people.

With the support of @nfvfsa (PESP), the Bloo Grape Showcase 2026 celebrates independent filmmaking and creates space for local stories to connect with audiences.

Here’s to the stories being told, the filmmakers behind them, and the people ready to watch.

So, what exactly is BlooGrape Showcase? 🍇🎬

We're building a space where emerging filmmakers don't just get an opportunity to put their work on screen; they get opportunities to be seen, get connected and grow.

Born from a partnership between @grapefruit_gardens and @bloomoneyapp, combines film exhibition with industry conversations, practical learning, networking and access to a wider creative ecosystem.

Our first showcase started with 24 short-film submissions from three provinces and five films selected for the big screen. Since then, we've seen what can happen when visibility is connected to real opportunity, including an inaugural winner whose next film went on to earn selection at the 2026 Durban International Film Festival.

Now we're building the next chapter.

BlooGrape Showcase returns for 2026.

Follow along as we introduce the people behind the platform, open our next call for films and build towards this year's showcase.

For filmmakers. For new voices. For what comes next.

We made Alex SÜD at the beginning of this year with no budget, a lot of creativity, and an incredible group of people who gave so much to the film.

Today, we’re so proud to share that it has won Best Short Film at the Creative Minds Film Festival.

We’re grateful to every single person who helped us make it. Thank you for your time, talent and trust!

This belongs to all of us 🏆
