The Joburg Film Festival (JFF), in partnership with the MultiChoice Group, is excited to reveal the theme for the highly anticipated seventh edition: “The Golden Thread – Connected Through Stories.”
Taking place from 11 – 16 March 2025, the festival will delve into the deep interconnectedness of our shared human experiences and the timeless power of storytelling.
Embodying the festival’s mantra, “Our Stories. Our Gold,” JFF continues to celebrate Joburg as the “City of Gold,” where stories are our most precious treasures—shining a light on our lives and reflecting the collective wisdom of diverse global communities.
Join us as we honour the essence of connection and explore “The Golden Thread,” a symbolic reminder of the universal ties that unite us all. Through this recurring motif, we celebrate the themes, emotions, and truths that resonate within the world’s most captivating stories.

Tucked within the exclusive Korhaan River Estate, where fewer than 30 families share in the quiet luxury of open skies, river breeze and uninterrupted privacy, this remarkable property brings country living to life with elegance, intention, and a touch of soul.
Set along the gentle Leeuspruit River — just a short flow from the mighty Vaal — the estate unfolds across 70,500m² of manicured grounds, three shimmering dams, and sweeping lawns made for unhurried afternoons. It’s the kind of setting where mornings begin with birdsong and evenings settle beneath a canopy of stars — whether as a permanent sanctuary or a sophisticated weekend retreat from city rush.

For Mrs South Africa 2025 finalist Talitha Oosthuizen, the pageant is more than a crown—it’s a calling. With courage rooted in her faith and a voice devoted to those who cannot speak for themselves, she’s using her platform to bring light to South Africa’s darkest crisis: human trafficking.

It’s that time of year when thanking the team for all that they delivered is critical. The year-end party is more than just an opskop, it’s the opportunity to show your team that you truly value both who they are and what they delivered this year. They say that a team is ultimately about human connection, and it is with this in mind that we’ve chosen these venues for your ultimate closing-of-year conference or celebration.
