Aerial view of the NV Film Studios Africa estate

Cape Town, South Africa

World-Class Production.
Built in Africa.

Sound stages, a 4,000-hectare backlot estate and a full production service — from one secured site outside Cape Town, and on location anywhere in South Africa.

02 · The Group

A major African film infrastructure and production group, built to host and deliver international productions end to end.

NV Films operates two connected businesses from a single secured estate outside Cape Town: NV Film Studios Africa, the sound stages, backlots and estate infrastructure — and NV Film Services, full production support on the estate and on location across South Africa.

One group. One point of contact. From scout to wrap.

We had to shoot in South Africa because it made sense for the deal we had. We found a range of mountains that were in your face for about a kilometre, and every morning this tablecloth of cloud would come in, it would just roll over them, and I went ‘Oh My God!’ It was surreal, it was otherworldly, so half the work was done, just by the location.
