WHY FILM HERE?

One big open-air studio

Internationally renowned for its barren desert landscape, Namibia also offers immense diversity of other settings, from rural to urban, beach scenery, misty coastal towns, seas of sand dunes, ghost mines, German architecture to traditional villages and mud huts. Furthermore, due to the changing climate conditions found throughout the expansive mass of land that is Namibia, the country provides a wide range of possible weather types.
