Moffie is die tweede film deur Hermanus en slegs die vierde Suid-Afrikaanse film wat in ses-en-sewentig-jaar ’n amptelike uitnodiging na hierdie rolprentfees ontvang het. Dit is gevolg deur nog ’n uitverkoopte vertoning by die Londen-rolprentfees in Oktober, waar dit benoem is vir die Beste Rolprent-toekenning.
