Godisamang Khunou is an award-winning South African director, writer, and producer. She is the owner of Mogale Pictures, a production company that is driven by the PAN African movement and African feminism to validate the experiences and emotions of African women. She has ten years’ experience in film and television. She is a 2024 Mandela Washington Fellowship for Young African Leaders alumna, after completing the Leadership in Business track at Rutgers University in New Jersey. She has been recognised by the Gauteng Film Commission with its first ever Merit award that was given to her in May 2024, for her incredible body of work and efforts for transformation in film.

She was selected for the Mail and Guardian 200 Young South Africans in 2024, for Film and Media. Her Directing Debut titled Black Women and Sex (2024) was selected for IDFA Docs for Sale. The film explores the tension between African women, and the politics of sex through the sexual realities of three unique women- a South African Trans woman, a Nigerian woman raised in a polygamous home, and a Zambian woman jailed for a sex tape. The film won Development awards including the Prize for the Best Female Director by the Saxon State Minister in Germany in 2019, the Most Promising Film award at the 2019 Durban Film Mart, and the Zonta Elster Prize for Female Talent at the 2019 DOK Leipzig International Co-Production market.

She is working with the Global Unit for Feminism and Gender Democracy as part of five feminist filmmakers from the global south to make films on the history of feminist protests from different regions in the world. The film she is making, Tea Parties, pays tribute to the biggest female protest that took place in South Africa, which is celebrated every year as Woman’s Day. It was led by Helen Joseph and Lilian Ngoyi, both of whom are feminist icons in the country. The short documentary is based on archives leading to the protest and the 9th of August 1956, set to premier in August 2025.

She is in post-production for a documentary feature titled POWA. The film was selected for Fame Week in September 2023 as an official pitch project. The film follows three high profile cases of gender-based violence in South Africa, through the lens of POWA (People Opposing Women Abuse) who have taken on presidents of the country who have been accused of rape and the unsafe conditions for women in South Africa, with no fear or favour. The film was made in co-production with Connect TV. She is in tate development for a documentary series in Co-Production with Urban Brew Studios titled Sharp End of a Knife which won the Development prize for The Best Non-
Fiction at the 2022 Durban Film Mart.

The series follows the life of married women who murdered their husbands because of gender based violence in their marriages, and are now serving life sentences in prison for protecting themselves and their children. The project was an official selection at the DOK Leipzig international Co-Production Market (2022) and Journey of a Netflix Documentary Series workshop (2023). She has benefited from many film festivals, markets and labs from around the world, to tell compelling African stories to a global audience. She is an alumnus of the 2023 Creative Producers Indaba, Rough Cut Lab (2023), Electric South: New Dimensions Lab (2022) and Digital Lab Africa (2021). She has also served in numerous Non-Profit organizations in film including sitting on the board of the Writers Guild of South Africa as the Johannesburg Regional Manager.
