filmmaking. The Dolby Institute develops educational programming to help
creatives advance in the art of storytelling, whether they’re making a film,
mixing the sound for a sporting event, or designing the next-generation music
experiences.
As the
leading video entertainment provider on the continent, MultiChoice recognizes
the importance of understanding sound in order to tell authentic African
stories. This partnership with Dolby will benefit storytellers across the
continent and support the growth of the homegrown entertainment industry.

About the
MultiChoice Talent Factory:
The
African continent is steeped in a rich and diverse history of living passionately
through language, art, music, and colourful storytelling. As the continent
continues to change rapidly, the entertainment industry has become ever more
relevant. MultiChoice Africa has identified an opportunity in this
fast-changing environment—one that will have a lasting impact on the industry
as a whole. The MultiChoice Talent Factory (MTF) is a multi-tiered training
programme (Academies, Masterclasses & Portal) designed by MultiChoice
Africa to focus on positively impacting the technical and professional value
chain in the film and television industry across the continent. As a business
born and bred in Africa, we have a long-term commitment to making a
socioeconomic difference in the countries in which we operate. As such, this
initiative helps to play a positive role in growing Africa’s creative
industries. MTF is a shared-value initiative that provides a platform for the
creative industries to develop their talent and engage with one another through
their shared passions. Through the MTF Academies (every year, the academies
select 60 talented individuals from across 13 countries to participate in a
12-month academic and practical immersion programme including both theory and
hands-on experience in cinematography, editing, audio production and
storytelling) we are building a pipeline of good local content for our channels
whilst the Masterclasses focus on developing technical skills of established
creatives in cinematography, audio and storytelling to improve the quality of
local productions and are conducted by leading African and international
industry experts. The MTF Portal is the golden thread that brings talent and
opportunities together on one platform. It is a Pan-African, film and
television digital marketplace that offers open, cost-free access to film
creatives across the continent to showcase their talent, access opportunities,
stay up to date with industry news and expand their industry network. Through
this initiative, MultiChoice Africa’s demonstrates its commitment to enriching lives
by developing the art of inspired local storytelling and story making, while
simultaneously growing a legacy of local content on our DStv, GOtv and Showmax
platforms and ultimately continue showcasing Africa’s rich cultural heritage
and diversity. More information available on www.multichoicetalentfactory.com
