AFRICAN FOCUS
In line with its objectives to create a significant global profile for
product completed on the African continent, and a platform for
potential sales and distribution, the Southern African International
Film & Television Market puts its strength and resources behind
filmmakers on the continent by ensuring AFRICAN FOCUS is a highlight
of the Market.
>From experience of the 1996 Market it became clear that because we are
a developing Market, international buyers are not necessarily aware of
the selection, originality and quality of programming and features we
have to offer. AFRICAN FOCUS provides an opportunity for you to enter
your product in this segment - which is integral to creating a strong
identity for our films.
How Does It Work?
If you are a filmmaker from the African Continent and have already
reserved Market Screenings which will be held at the Labia Theatre for
35mm, 16mm and Video Projection - your title will appear on the Market
Screening Schedule - highlighted as an "AFRICAN FOCUS" entry. If you
have not, or do not wish to book a screening in the above-mentioned
formats, you are invited to complete the attached AFRICAN FOCUS
Registration Form and your product (in VHS cassette format) will be
available for viewing at the AFRICAN FOCUS stand, situated at the
KwaNhlangano Stand at the Market Venue, where the following services
will be available:
*African Focus Catalogue in which all programs and titles will be
indexed by genre
*African Focus Library of VHS cassettes.
*Screening Booths to screen Product on request by buyers visiting the
KwaNhlangano Stand.
*Co-ordinators to facilitate and process queries from buyers or
possible co- production partners, and put these parties in touch
with each other.
*A global mail shot issued by the Market Organisers to all Market
delegates two weeks prior to the Market informing them of African
Focus and KwaNhlangano.
*Listing in the Official Market Guide - highlighting an African Focus
entry.
