Even though the nominations are highly questionable let alone the winners, I'd like to congratulate Kgomotso Christopher, Gcina Mkhize and Mothusi Magano

So it turns out the Best Documentary Short wasn't awarded on Saturday because there's an ownership issue over one - or more - of the documentaries. They won't say which documentary it is but this is the repsonse we got to our query:

The NFVF is an organisation committed to governance, due process and the highest standards of ethical conduct. We are aware of the current dispute regarding ownership of some of the content submitted for consideration in our “Best Documentary Short” Award category.

Until the matter is resolved between the two parties, we have decided to withdraw the awarding of any prizes in that category, as we believe the outcome may have a material impact on the overall determination of the successful nominee.

While the dispute in no way relates to NFVF business or processes, as the agency mandated to ensure equitable growth of South Africa's film and video industry, we undertake to facilitate a dispute resolution process within the ambit of our mandate during the course of next week. We are committed to working with all stakeholders to prioritise a speedy resolution in the interests of both parties.

 Pleja qaqamba 

An update on the Best Documentary Short fiasco... the National Film and Video Foundation released this on Friday (12 April):

Press release:

Presentation of SAFTAs13 award in the category “Best Documentary Short”

The NFVF received legal documentation pertaining to the dispute on the Intellectual Property Rights of one of the documentary films submitted under the “Best Documentary Short” category. A decision was taken to withdraw the category from the awards ceremony to allow the legal process to be concluded.
 
Following the decision to withhold the announcement of the winner in the category, the NFVF referred the matter to the relevant SAFTAs Adjudications Panel for a final decision in accordance with a legal opinion received from its attorneys.
 
The award for this category will now be presented to a winner selected from the remaining nominees which shall be presented at a special award ceremony to be hosted by the NFVF, details of which will be communicated.

The NFVF on behalf of the Adjudications Panel and the overall Chairpersons of the SAFTAs, wishes to thank the industry at large and the nominees for their patience and support during this process.

----


We've asked the NFVF who the remaining nominees are but haven't heard. They didn't want to reveal the guilty documentary previously so it's looking like they're staying hush-hush on the remaining nominees and will only announce the winner.

Aha! Now we know which documentary was involved in the Best Documentary Short copyright dispute... it was Follow the Guns which was out in the cold last night when the category was awarded.

The National Film and Video Foundation held a dinner in Sandton to present the award once and for all.

The competition came down to Someone to Blame - The Ahmed Timol Inquest and Scenes From a Dry City.

Someone to Blame won...


... the producer Enver Michael Samuel.
