Elmo De Witt (d 2011) was a South African filmmaker, who worked as a director and a producer.[1] His films include Debbie (1965), The Last Lion (1972), Ter Wille van Christene (1975), Grensbasis 13 (1979) and You Must Be Joking! (1986).[2] He was a prolific filmmaker, whose activity spanned more than three decades, from 1959 to 1992.[2][3] Keyan Tomaselli considers him typical of Afrikaans directors who 'have made films which conflict with the stereotypical "farm" image of the Afrikaner.'[4]
