Afrikaans was one of the two official South African languages in the 20th century. Afrikaans films enjoyed privileges because the government manipulated racial and cultural identities through subsidies and audience segregation. However, in the post-apartheid era, Afrikaans filmmakers had to find new funding models, such as relying on the Afrikaans satellite channel, kykNET, to commission content for cinema distribution. The article briefly discusses the symbiosis between the Afrikaans language and its film industry and how Afrikaans film remains sustainable despite not being one of South Africa’s most spoken languages. Cet article explore la transition de la langue afrikaans au cinéma passée après 1994 de langue hégémonique à langue minoritaire. L'afrikaans étant au XXe siècle l'une des deux langues officielles de l'Afrique du Sud, les films en afrikaans jouissaient de privilèges liés à la manipulation par le gouvernement des identités raciales et culturelles par le biais de subventions et de la ségrégation des publics. Dans l'ère post-apartheid, les cinéastes afrikaans ont dû trouver de nouveaux modèles de financement, notamment en s'appuyant sur la chaîne satellite afrikaans kykNET qui a commissionné des contenus destinés à être distribués au cinéma. L'article aborde ainsi la symbiose entre la langue afrikaans et son industrie cinématographique et la façon dont le cinéma afrikaans reste viable bien qu'il ne soit pas l'une des langues les plus parlées d'Afrique du Sud |
