The Film Critics Association of South Africa was founded in 2009. The association was established as a result of a growing number of recognised film critics in South Africa, an influx of feature film productions in the local film-making industry and a greater prominence on the international circuit with films like Gavin Hood's Oscar-winning
Tsotsi and Neill Blomkamp's District 9, which received critical acclaim
worldwide. The country has become a valuable film-making destination for
its beautiful landscapes, prime filming locations, economic benefits,
diverse casting range and wealth of historical significance.
