LTEAAMLBEESRNCGITIRNCGLE The fact that Africa is rich
with the raw materials of
creative talent and untold
story is undeniable.
However, this abundant natural
resource needs to be nurtured and
cultivated if it is to flourish. This
means that promising filmmakers
need to be given the tools to polish
their craft to a standard that does
justice to their vision, from the
point of development through
to the exhibition and distribution
of the finished film. It is also
crucial that they are given the
opportunity to be exposed to the
practices of the industry at an
international scale.
For these reasons, we have invited
several major talent incubators
working with African film who run
programmes that focus on a variety of
professional disciplines and stages in
the life-cycle of a film or career of a
filmmaker. The following pages give
an overview of the labs that will be
represented.
Apart from public presentations of
their programs, these delegates will
take part in closed strategic sessions
to discuss the next five years, try
to identify common ground and
work towards a more collaborative
model, with free-flowing information
between the different emerging talent
initiatives. The main goal is to launch
collectively an African Film Institute,
an organization that in the future not
only nurtures, but also funds talent.

SNAkE NATIO After nearly a year of strategic planning and development behind the
scenes, the CTIFMF, in partnership with Snake Nation and the YOMYOMF
Foundation is proud to announce the Interpretations inter-continental
film competition in South Africa.
Interpretations is a short film contest, an initiative from the USA based
YOMYOMF Foundation, the non-profit arm of the digital production
company YOMYOMF (YouOffendMeYouOffendMyFamily), devoted to
fostering and developing Asian American and other underrepresented
voices in film and entertainment.
Snake Nation, is once again working with the festival to promote young
and emerging talent. The objective of this competition is to encourage
aspiring South African filmmakers to develop their own original and
unique voice and to encourage filmmakers to find their own take on the
material and be as creative with it as they can. The script is broad and
fluid enough so that one director could craft a comedy from it, another a
stylish music video, another an action film, etc.
Once the films were submitted, a distinguished panel of judges from
both the studio and independent filmmaking worlds reviewed the
submissions and narrowed them down to fifteen semi-finalists. From
those fifteen, three finalists/winners will be selected—two decided by
the judges and one by online audience voting.
The winning filmmakers will have an opportunity to work on a full
production of their project with the Snake Nation team at Georgia State
University Creative Media Industries Institute under the mentorship of
seasoned industry professionals.
Snake Nation, YOMYOMF Foundation and the CTIFMF will also make
an effort to introduce promising filmmakers, whether they are a finalist
or not, to appropriate industry mentors to help create more focused
opportunities for growth and networking.
