This is more than just an award ceremony; it is a movement to elevate the South African film & stunt industry, recognise & appreciate exceptional talents & inspire future generations.
The Saffa Stunt Awards is an innovative initiative that honors the remarkable talent, commitment, and excellence of the stunt performers and action crews in South Africa’s film and entertainment sector.
On January 18, 2025, we proudly held the inaugural Stunt Awards Ceremony at Welgemeend in Cape Town, marking a significant milestone in acknowledging these often-underappreciated artists.
South African stunt crews have played vital roles in numerous well-known and award-winning films & we aim to continue to celebrate their skill & contributions. After all, what would our favourite films be without thrilling car chases and breathtaking fight sequences?
The Saffa Stunt Awards is the first & only awards platform in South Africa dedicated to raising awareness, recognising & appreciating the contributions of THE STUNT DEPARTMENT in the film industry of SA.
