Silwerskermfees short films: Genoeg

With: Ayden Croy, Zane Meas

Marc was cast out of his home as a teenager after revealing a truth about his sexuality that his father could not accept. Years later, Marc returns – not only out of obligation, but because this might be the last time he can piece together his fractured past. His father, now lost in the confusing, shifting world of Alzheimer’s, no longer recognises him. He mistakes him for his other son, who is preserved in memory, untouched by disappointment or time. Marc chooses not to correct his father but steps into a ghostly realm and submits to a quiet, aching process: to be seen.

The kykNET Silwerskerm Festival is a prestigious and proudly South African and Afrikaans film festival that has supported, empowered, and developed the local film industry for more than a decade. While a number of feature films from seasoned filmmakers make their world debut or South African premiere at this prestigious event, the festival is also a showcase for emerging talent: a series of short films, produced under the festival’s banner with the necessary mentorship, annually shine a spotlight on their craft.
The Film Festival proudly presents 6 short films from up-and-coming filmmakers, 4 short films from established filmmakers, and 5 short documentaries from the 2026 kykNET Silwerskerm Festival programme. More detailed information about the short films is available on our website. These short films were produced under the mentorship of kykNET and M-Net and premiered at the 2026 kykNET Silwerskerm Festival in Camps Bay.
