South African film becomes a prominent feature in the Arts and Culture budget vote speech for 2005/2006
"2004 is the year during which South African film came of age. During these past twelve months we have seen South African films scoop up awards at top film festivals in Europe, North America, India and on the African continent. Besides two Oscar nominations, South African films received recognition at the most prestigious festivals, testimony not only of our talent, but also to the success of our strategy of judiciously and efficiently deploying the financial and other resources mobilised by the Department of Arts and Culture."
