AFDA presents IGNITION – The Future of Filmmaking, in partnership with DIFF
As part of the 34th Durban International Film Festival, which is principally funded by the National Lottery Distribution Trust Fund, the University of KwaZulu Natal's Centre for Creative Arts in association with the AFDA, invites community organisations to apply for IGNITION, a free workshop on an Introduction to Film Production which will take place from 22 to 26 July 2013.
The workshop is open to entry-level applicants, preferably those who have not been working in the industry but have a strong desire to pursue video production as a career option. The course will involve practical skills on camera operation, composition, scripting and film editing. Successful participants will be awarded a certificate of completion.
It is preferable that participants be attached to community organisations as this will provide them with an organisational environment where they can make use of and impart their newly-acquired skills.
