Annual Marula

The Annual Marula Film Festival creates a dynamic space for film lovers, storytellers, and local communities to come together in celebration of cinematic creativity. Hosted annually at the Lulekani Community Hall, the festival is a full-day experience that champions local storytelling, elevates emerging talent, and explores diverse cultural and social narratives through film.

The programme features a carefully curated selection of films that reflect both the richness of Limpopo’s creative landscape and universal human experiences. It offers filmmakers—both aspiring and established—an accessible platform to showcase their work, engage with audiences, and ignite important conversations around the themes presented on screen.

The Annual Marula Film Festival encourages cultural appreciation, creative exchange, and community dialogue. It continues to serve as a springboard for new voices in film while fostering a deeper connection between storytellers and the audiences they serve. Through screenings, filmmaker engagements, and interactive discussions, the festival affirms the power of film as a tool for education, entertainment, and transformation.
