Our high standards and large international client base set the benchmark for Namibia. In our 17 year existence we have more than “85” years of film experience amongst our internationally travelled team – this makes for a highly diverse and very up to date service. Namib Film has brought major international feature films to Namibia’s shore and is the only Namibian company that has serviced a major Hollywood studio picture, from beginning to end in Namibia.

John Moore Quote – Director of “Flight of the Phoenix”: I cannot speak highly enough of Namib Film: they are the real deal and no one can touch them in that part of the globe. Our head quarters are situated on the Skeleton Coast, in a very European influenced town called Swakopmund, surrounded by the beautiful but harsh Namib Desert, with a rich history dating back to before 1900’s, which makes us more than irresistible in the colonial aspect. Namib Film is committed to assisting clients worldwide with their unique needs by providing them with comprehensive, value-added solutions, and professional & personal service.
