Calling South Africa's Emerging Filmmakers
Jan 2014 - June 2014
The Africa Centre provides a platform
for exploring contemporary Pan-African cultural practice as a catalyst for
social change. Based in Cape Town, but working globally, Talking Heads, one of
Africa Centre’s core projects, was created to disrupt the common narratives
about Africa as a place of disease, poverty, and corruption. Talking Heads
through live events, audio and video casts brings Africa’s thought leaders,
social disruptors and change makers to the public to share their ideas and
experiences and demand we think differently about who and what it means to be
African.
Recognising that video is a powerful
tool to realise its goals, Talking Heads has chosen to enhance its video
production methodology and embark on a six-month long project called Innovate
ZA: Video Lab (January 2014 – June 2014). This project intends to contribute to
the development of local emerging filmmakers in South Africa. Through
experiential skills development and guidance by established industry
professionals, emerging film-makers will consolidate and expand their skills in
concept development, script writing, cinematography, animation, sound/camera
use and editing.
The Africa Centre invites submissions
from all emerging South African filmmakers from historically disadvantaged
backgrounds.
