about
Action. Innovation. Impact.
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 honours the remarkable talent, commitment, and excellence of the stunt performers and action crews in South Africa’s film and entertainment sector.
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?
Saffa Stunt Awards laid the foundation for an industry-first platform that celebrates the incredible talent, skill, artistry, and grit of stunt professionals & action crews in South Africa, a long overlooked sector in the local & global film industry.
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.
This isn’t just an event—it’s the beginning of a legacy to recognise a vital part of the film industry and South African identity.
As a nonprofit organisation, we aim to continually uplift, promote & grow SA's Stunt Community while promoting the country as a global hub for action filmmaking.
Operating as a Non-Profit Company and Social Enterprise, the Saffa Stunt Awards is committed to contributing to the economic and social development of the South African Film, Entertainment & Stunt Industry, aspiring to ignite interest, attract investment, and garner international acclaim for the local film sector.
