		+	Uys Krige was only marginally involved in film, but in 1944 he, [[Nan Munro]] and [[Leon Schauder]] made the short ''[[Words in Darkness]]'' at [[Alpha Film Studios]]. The film is something of a curiosity in that all the characters are individuals who have died in the fight against fascism. In contrast, he wrote the script for ''[[Salute to the Voortrekkers]]'' / ''[[Hulde aan die Voortrekkers]]'', a 1949 documentary made on the occasion of the opening of the Voortrekker Monument. Directed by [[Geoffrey Smith]] who, at the time was the Chairman of the [[Cape Town Film Society]], and edited by [[Emil Nofal]], it was produced by Shell in association with [[African Film Productions]].
