AFDA ANNUAL FILM FESTIVAL

AFDA Annual Film Festival

The newest campus of South Africa’s #1 School of Motion Picture Medium and Live Performance, AFDA Durban, will be presenting its annual film, television and performance festival on Saturday, 22 November at the campus in Glen Anil.

Featuring the best of third year and postgraduate student films from AFDA Johannesburg and Cape Town as well first and second year student productions from AFDA Durban, the festival will highlight the work of SA’s top future film makers and entertainers. AFDA Durban Music and Stage students will also be performing live as well as the Television School’s shows being presented in a relaxed TV lounge set up in the school’s library.

Food and beverages will be on sale to keep festival goers’ stamina up for the movie marathon they’ll be enjoying. There will also be a bar for over-18’s and an outside chill area where film watchers can take time out between screenings, grab a bite and enjoy the open mic stage where Sonic Roisin will perform at 17:00, with AFDA music students also showcasing their talents.

A once-off entry fee of R20 grants you access to the entire festival, including all screenings and live performances. The festival opens at 09:30 with the first screening at 10:00 and the last finishing by 21:00. There will be film screenings throughout the day as well as first and second year stage performances being held in the Actor’s Studio at 18:00 and 20:00 respectively, whilst the live music performances will be outside.
