The emergence of a 'black film industry' in apartheid South Africa is inextricably linked to the introduction of a differential state subsidy for film production. This subsidy, known as the B-Scheme in order to distinguish it from the general or A-Scheme subsidy, was introduced in 1972–1973. The B-Scheme was specifically for the production of films in an African language with a majority African cast and intended for a mass African audience. The '…
