Each year, the Mpumalanga International Film Festival (MIFF) proudly honours outstanding filmmakers whose work exemplifies excellence in storytelling, creativity, and cultural relevance. Our awards celebrate local and international talent across various categories including Best Feature Film, Best Documentary, Best Short Film, Best Student Film, and Best African Storytelling. These winners represent the bold voices and fresh perspectives that continue to shape the future of cinema.
The MIFF jury, comprised of industry professionals and creative visionaries, carefully selects winners based on artistic merit, originality, technical execution, and impact. Winning a MIFF award is more than a trophy—it’s a recognition of dedication, passion, and the power of film to inspire, educate, and transform. Congratulations to all our MIFF award winners—you are the heartbeat of our festival!
