Introductory notes
The lists
In this section we have two lists of films, to distinguish between documentary films and fictional films made in South Africa. These lists are all arranged alphabetically according to the title of the film.
Notes for using this section
(1) In accordance with normal bibliographic usage, in cases where the titles of plays and performances contain one of the initial articles A, An or The, the items are listed alphabetically according to the word following that initial article. (In the case of Afrikaans the articles are 'n or Die, and in the case of Dutch Een, Di, Die, Den or Het.) The article is then put at the end of the title. To illustrate: "The Guest by Ross Devenish " is listed as "Guest, The by Ross Devenish " under #G. Please note that films with titles starting with a numeral or date are placed in a separate listing marked #Numbers or dates. (2) There are and have been a number of Film Festivals in the country. We will list them all with the theatre festivals under the listing Plays IV: Festivals and Pageants. (For more on the general concept, see Festival)
