A BIG THANK YOU
This directory would not be possible without the continued support from our advertisers as well as the the Namibia Film Commission.
A special mention to Hans-Christian Mahnke from Africavenir and Guy, Gwen and Elnette from Namib Film - your unfailing support and assistance in promoting and distributing the directory is highly appreciated. Your help has meant the directory has reached an additional audience and key people in the film industry in Zimbabwe, South Africa, Germany, Spain, Egypt, LA, New York, India and London.
Kindest regards,
Andrea Leech
The annual Film Production Directory Namibia was first published in the year 2010 under RBJ Trust, a publishing company that was also founded the same year. The publication was created after it was recognized that there was a marketing gap in the film industry. It was during that same year that the Namibia Film Commission (NFC) became involved in making the Film Directory a success.
Since the inception of the Film Directory, three issues have already been published and distributed in seven countries worldwide.
About 6500 directories have been distributed to countries such as the USA, UK, Germany, France and India, including film festivals, expos and trade fairs.
The Film Directory has been recognized and established as a marketing and reference tool amongst local and international filmmakers as well as service providers in the industry. It has indeed brought so many positive results to the NFC and Namibia as a whole. There have been many queries from foreign film Production Companies who have shown interest in filming in Namibia. Aside from these queries, the NFC has also been receiving a number of invitations to attend international film festivals all over the world.
This proves that the Film Production Directory Namibia continues to play a big role in promoting Namibia and the Film Commission globally. The Film Directory is one of the leading filming guides for Namibia and the NFC is proud to say that the directory has contributed immensely to the growing film industry locally in making Namibia a preferred film destination.

• 7500 directories distributed to more than 10 major countries• Advertising circulation for a full year in print and online• Every ad comes with a free listing in the directory section• Distributed to a targeted, interested filming market• Filming benefits local hospitality industry• Cost effective
The Film Production Directory Namibia is the leading filming guidebook in Namibia.
Not in it? You are missing out.
The Film Production Directory Namibia is the most recognized and established reference and marketing tool in the Namibian film industry locally and internationally.
Who should advertise: Most people know that the film industry brings work to actors, extras and crew but a production’s reach is much further than that. A film typically employs engineers, electricians, caterers, builders, painters, tailors, animal wranglers, guides, drivers, and many more that benefit directly from a film production.
Any international production, benefits the local hospitality industry. All the crew needs to be housed and fed; restaurants and hotels can guarantee bookings while filming continues. Thousands of dollars will be spent in local shops from sim cards, credit, bottled water, local souvenirs, clothing and much more.
Distribution The directories are distributed to some of the largest international meeting points in the film industry. Our distribution includes countries which provide Namibia’s largest film clientele – USA (AFCI Location Trade Show), UK (The Production Show), Germany (Berlinale), India (Mumbai Film Festival) and a variety of other European & International countries (Cannes Film Festival & Cannes Lions).
Print Run Our initial print run is 1000 for delivery in January of each year, and is subject to a further print run throughout the year as to meet our subscriber’s needs. A further 100 complimentary directories are distributed to Key Media Players, targeted specifically for their contribution to the entertainment industry in Namibia and South Africa. These include Embassies, High Commissions and other film offices throughout the world. Key advertisers receive complimentary directories when they place display advertisements.

The Film Production Directory Namibia is intended to be a handbook to any filmmaker entering the country. It gives an overall picture of what is available and necessary for the making of a successful film.
Our directories are distributed to some of the largest international meeting points in the film industry. Our distribution includes countries which provide Namibia’s largest film clientele – USA (AFCI Location Trade Show), UK (The Production Show), Germany (Berlinale), India (Mumbai Film Festival) and a variety of other European & International countries (Cannes Film Festival & Cannes Lions).
Bringing along your partner and children to enjoy Namibia?
Many cast members see their work in Namibia as an opportunity for their partners and family members to visit an exciting new country, and of course, there are amazing places to visit, trips to take and sights to see. Namibia has so much to offer any tourist. For this reason this directory offers a choice of tourist resorts, across the country.
Many of the visitors like to become involved with the people of a country and are delighted to volunteer their skills. Some volunteer at after-school education projects, or at welfare projects found in the outlying areas of the towns. Some volunteers work for soup kitchens, schools, church groups, and orphanages. Feel free to email [email protected] for more information.

Part of the allure of filming in Namibia is that it is four countries in one; four different landscapes, each with its own characteristics and attractions.
Namibia has 4 distinctive topographical regions.
1. Most diverse is the Namib Desert, one of the oldest deserts in the world
2. The central plateau which runs from North to South with landscapes alternating between rocky outcrops, mountain ranges and sand filled valleys
3. Towards the east where the ancient red sand and sparse vegetation of the Kalahari Desert emerges from a sandy strip of land
4. Fourth is located in the north, and includes the wide, barren plains around the saline Etosha Pan as well as the endless grassy and densely wooded savannah areas of the Kavango and the Caprivi regions, to the east
Namibia is divided into 13 regions. The regions are (region capitals in parenthesis): Caprivi (Katima Mulilo), Erongo (Swakopmund), Hardap (Mariental), Karas (Keetmanshoop), Kavango (Rundu), Khomas (Windhoek), Kunene (Outjo), Ohangwena (Eenhana), Omaheke (Gobabis), Omusati (Outapi), Oshana, (Oshakati), Oshikoto (Omuthiya), Otjozondjupa (Otjiwarongo).
Did you know?
Some experts claim the Namib Desert
was already arid 80 million years ago.

Namibian Facts Geography & Regions
Just as the geography in Namibia varies from region to region and place to place; from arid to semi-arid to subtropical; so does the climate.
• With 300 days of sunshine on average per year, Namibia is truly a sunny place.
• Namibia‘s climate is characterised by hot days and cool nights, typical of semi-desert terrain.
• The weather at the coast of Namibia, however, is generally cool and the days are often foggy. Winter however, sometimes brings the east wind and its searing heat to the coastal areas, often accompanied by a dust storm.
• Summer is from October to April. Temperatures can reach 40º C, which plummets at night to very cool levels. Average daily temperatures range from 20 to 34º C.
• Winter is from May to September with wonderful warm days which are contrasted by very cold nights, when temperatures often drop to below freezing.
• It is only during the summer months from November to February that rain does occur, mostly as heavy thunderstorms. Did you know?

Windhoek
Windhoek, the capital of Namibia, is situated in the country’s central Khomas Region and is commonly described as a city with a multicultural character. Set amidst the rolling hills of central Namibia, Windhoek, is the perfect destination for visitors wishing to get a real taste of Africa.
Sossusvlei
Sossusvlei is an area that is characterised by massive red sand dunes; these dunes are believed to be the highest and the oldest in the world (over 5 million years old)! These Namibian dunes are found in the Namib Desert at Sesriem.
Namib Naukluft Park
The Namib Naukluft Park, the largest park in Namibia and the 3rd largest on the African continent, encompasses the ancient canyons of the Moon Landscape, Rooibank dunes, Kuiseb Canyons, Rossing Mountain and much more.

Swakopmund
Swakopmund, founded in 1892 during the period of German colonial rule, served as the territory’s main harbour for many years. In 1884, South West Africa - the future Namibia - was declared a German Protectorate. By 1907 Swakopmund had the largest European population of any German colony in Africa...
Lüderitz & Kolmanskop
Lüderitz‘s appeal as a town lies in the fact that it has hardly grown or changed since the early 20th century, after the diamond rush in nearby Kolmanskop, that brought fame and fortune to Lüderitz for a number of years. Kolmanskop has since become a ghost town, battling the sand dunes of the Namib Desert.
Damaraland
African savannah with shrubs and acacias, sandy dry riverbeds, massive granite mountain tops and table mountains are characteristic of the wildly romantic scenery of Damaraland. Springbok and oryx antelope graze in the savannah; the famous desert-adapted elephants move through the dry riverbeds.

Kalahari Desert
The Kalahari Desert is characterised by red sand dunes which reach a height of about 15-30 metres and extend over hundreds of kilometres. Chains of dunes run parallel to one another, with considerable distances between them. Now and then pans can be found in the valleys.

Epupa Falls
The Epupa Falls are created by the Kunene River on the border of Angola and Namibia. Winding its way through awesome mountainous terrain, it suddenly interrupts the arid landscape with a cascading network of spectacular falls that tumble over a multitude of rock shelves into a deep gorge.
Quivertree Forest & Giant‘s Playground
The Quivertree (Aloe dichotoma) belongs to the most conspicuous plants of the countries indigenous flora. The name derives from its traditional practical application: the hollowed out pithy branches served as perfect quivers to the ancient Bushmen!

Sandwich Harbour
Sandwich Harbour, lying south of Walvis Bay, was originally a small port which was deserted due to silting. Nature has reclaimed this area and today Sandwich Harbour is home to a scenic and completely pristine lagoon. This area, accessible only by 4x4, is an unspoilt coastal area where the dunes meet the sea.

Dorob National Park
The Dorob National Park, situated between the Kuiseb Delta, south of Walvis Bay, and the Ugab Delta, north of Henties Bay, with its rugged coastline, is one of the most unique parks in the world. According to oral history of the desert people, this area was originally known as Doro-IHub. They suggested the name of the park. Dorob means dry land.

Avoid driving in the country at night - animals are always a risk.
Do not leave anything valuable on show in your car when you leave it unattended, and ALWAYS lock your car when you leave it, even if you are only going to be gone for a few minutes.
Always try to park in a busy, well-lit area.

Transport Tips
At a restaurant it is common practise to tip the waiter 10% of the bill. If your bill is over N$1000, a 5% tip is sufficient.
When staying at a hotel or B&B facility, it is considerate to leave from N$10 - $20 for the lady who will clean your room.
Use the normal level of caution that you would in any city. Do not draw attention to yourself by displaying large amounts of cash, expensive cameras etc. Leave valuables in the safe at the hotel.
Avoid walking alone after sun-set.
Do not leave valuables in vehicles, especially over night.
Ask your hotel to call a taxi for you. At the airport find out which taxis are registered for business. Always ask how much the journey will cost you before getting into the taxi.
It is wise to use the services of a Car Guard provided he/she is clearly identified, normally with a yellow or orange top.
If you do accept the service of a Car Guard, a small donation is expected when you return to your car. During the day, N$2 - N$4 is sufficient. At night between N$10 - N$20 is normal.

Film Commission Ad & editorial
The Namibian Film Commission (NFC) is a statutory body that was established by an Act of Parliament in 2000 to
support, encourage and promote film productions, film marketing as well as the development of the film industry in Namibia.
The mission of the NFC is to create a conducive environment that develops a vibrant and sustainable film industry. Its vision is to have a film industry of excellence that reflects Namibia’s cultural diversity and contributes meaningfully to national development.
The NFC issues film permits to all foreign production companies wanting to do film work or still photography in Namibia, assists with obtaining temporary work visas, facilitates permissions to film at national parks, heritage sites and filming of minorities as well as assisting with information on service providers, be it local crew and technical services, location scouting, aviation services, catering, transport, accommodation or telecommunications.
The Namibia Film Commission provides training, technical assistance and funding to local filmmakers to produce local content that is screened at international film festivals and to local communities through-out the year. They attend, amongst others, the Berlinale in Germany, Cannes in France, Toronto International Film Festival in Canada, Dubai International Film Festival in the United Arab Emirates, Durban Film festival in South Africa, and the Africa Diaspora Film Festival in the United States, while location expos are attended in different parts of the world and awareness raised in Asia, Europe and India.
The NFC exposes local filmmakers to international productions that are filmed locally to gain industry experience. This is done by attaching local talents to international film productions.

Save money
Labour costs in Namibia, for experienced crews, are considerably lower than the cost of bringing in foreign crews. We also have low production costs and tax benefits for foreign companies working for a local production company, not to mention our favorable exchange rate.
Highly qualified professionals
Namibian crews are renowned for their positive attitude, motivation and dedication. Due to Namibia’s ever expanding film industry, Namibian crews not only have the qualifications in their field, but also the necessary experience. Namibia’s film crews and technicians are multilingual and have international production experience.
Equipment
Namibia has companies such as Equipment List Rentals that specialise in high-quality equipment rental, including camera, tents, grip/electric, and property/costumes.
Safe
Namibia is a politically stable country with low crime incidents and friendly, helpful people.
One big open-air studio
Internationally renowned for its barren desert landscape, Namibia also offers immense diversity of other settings, from rural to urban, beach scenery, misty coastal towns, seas of sand dunes, ghost mines, Germanic architecture to traditional villages and mud huts. Furthermore, due to the changing climate conditions found throughout the expansive mass of land that is Namibia, the country provides a wide range of possible weather types.
360° Filming
Namibia offers motion picture industry infrastructure and low-cost, high-quality services. Filming permissions are easily obtainable, especially with the help of a local production company such as Fisheye Studios Productions, Joe Vision Production, Magic Touch Films, Namib Film or Power and Glory. Unlike many European countries, Namibia has a very welcoming approach to filming in public areas such as on streets and highways.
Year-round-filming
With opposite seasons to the Northern hemisphere, Namibia’s climate of low average rainfall, with long daylight hours and an average of 300 days of sunlight per year, makes this country an ideal filming location.

No Challenge Too Wild for Namibia’s Cowboys
They’ve transformed an abandoned ruin into a petrol station overnight for a Hunters TV commercial, built floats amongst the crocodiles on the Okavango River for a BMW photo shoot, supplied 50kg of identically-sized pieces of biltong (beef jerky) to the Mad Max film set, and driven through the desert dunes for 8 hours to deliver just one generator……”The Cowboys” are well-known for taking on the most demanding challenges.
“But it’s not just the wild challenges we thrive on,” says frontman Heinz ‘Cowboy’ Büttner. “We’ll take on anything – no matter how big the job, random the request, or remote the location.”
Their comprehensive range of services backs up Cowboy Büttner’s statement. While ”The Cowboys” specialise in manufacturing a wide variety of steel products and converting shipping containers into anything from luxury accommodation and air-conditioned offices to ablutions and workshops on remote film locations – they also provide water, sewage and ablution facilities, plant and machinery solutions, set building as well as a comprehensive collection of props for hire.
Apart from the team’s fierce 24/7 dedication to the job at hand, Büttner’s business partner Carl Ehmke quite simply attributes their success to the fact that they’re locals. “We have a pretty extensive network, which means we can source any material, find the most trifling objects and fulfil even the most curious requests.” Ultimately, “The Cowboys” crew knows no boundaries.
If you’re up early enough, you may catch sight of The Cowboys’ trademark sunrise-orange 4x4 rambling down the roads, or ramping the dunes, on its way to fulfil another out-of the-ordinary request for another out-of-this-world production – and you’ll know, “The Cowboys” are at it again.

Namibia offers idyllic tropical and desert locations that are incomparable. Our landscapes are one of Mother Nature’s best gifts.
Below are a few simple descriptions of what is on offer:
• sheer mountains and rocky outcrops • sandy beaches with golden or volcanic colored sand• endless belts of dunes and deserts• bounteous wild-life, bird-life and fishing options• long and winding roads through changing landscapes• sun drenched savannah with freely roaming wild-life• forests of trees – from “petrified” to “tropical”• scenic lakes, rivers and oases• abandoned ghost towns
From the quaint small German town of Swakopmund to the rustic traditional villages in the north, you will find no shortage of inspiration. Each town is able to double as a dozen different venues and time periods in film, from medieval Europe to modern America – allowing big savings for the producer.

Namibia is unique in many different ways, but one of the main reasons for its individual identity is that it has been influenced by different cultures during colonisation.

Local casting agencies can supply any kind of look for your production. Namibian extras and actors are skilled in languages as well as stagecraft, and visiting directors praise their enthusiasm and professionalism.

Namibia has been on the international map of top filming destinations for a number of years and with more than a century of filmmaking experience, from the earliest days of cinematography in 1963 (Coasts of Skeletons : Robert Lynn) up to the latest and most technically sophisticated productions of today. Many films have been produced in Namibia by Namibians as well as international film companies. This has given Namibian crews the opportunity to learn from a wide range of cinematographers, directors and producers.
Namibia’s skills are up to date. In addition to the many international productions that shoot here each year, the local film industry regularly produces films.
