Sedert 2023 sluit die Silwerskermfeesprogram ook voorskoue van opwindende nuwe televisie- en stroomdiens-inhoud in. Dit beteken dat die kontemporêre Afrikaanse filmkuns nou in al sy gedaantes gehuisves, gestimuleer en gevier word by die unieke netwerkgeleentheid wat die fees bied. Dokumentêre, loodsepisodes van dramareekse en realiteits- en vermaaklikheidsprogramme word vertoon, en hierdie TV-storievertellers geniet die glans en swier van die fees saam met hul eweknieë in die filmbedryf.

Since 2023, the Silwerskermfees programme line-up started to include sneak peeks of television and streamer content as a vibrant addition to the festival. This means the Afrikaans film content landscape is now hosted, stimulated and celebrated in its entirety at the unique networking opportunity the festival offers. Feature-length documentaries, pilot episodes of drama series and reality and entertainment shows are screened, and these storytellers enjoy the glitz and glamour of the festival alongside their filmmaking peers.

Wat as jou grootste vyand die enigste persoon is wat jou kan help? In Ontwaak keer die psigiater Melissa Human terug na Suid-Afrika om by Noordlig te werk – ’n tronk vir gevaarlike geestesversteurdes. Agter die hoë mure ontdek sy ’n sinistere kultus, Horisonne, wat haar dogter, Adri, ingesluk het – en haar eksman, Melchior, is die leier daarvan. Om Adri te red moet Melissa steun op Alwyn Bekker, ’n briljante reeksmoordenaar. Elke antwoord lei tot nuwe gevaar. Elke keuse het ’n prys. Hierdie is nie net ’n stryd teen ’n kultus nie – dis ’n stryd teen die donkerste dele van die self.

What if your greatest enemy is the only person who can help you? In Ontwaak, psychiatrist Melissa Human returns to South Africa to work at Noordlig – a jail for dangerous, mentally disturbed prisoners. Behind its high walls, she discovers a sinister cult, Horisonne, that has consumed her daughter Adri – and her ex-husband, Melchior, is its leader. To save Adri, Melissa must rely on Alwyn Bekker, a brilliant serial killer. Every answer leads to new danger. Every choice comes at a price. This isn’t just a battle against a cult – it’s a fight against the darkest parts of the self.
