The Sithengi Film & Television Market - the industry component of the Cape Town World Cinema Festival - will take place in Cape Town from 15 - 18 November 2005. All industry professionals and aspirants in Africa and internationally have recognised this Market as the place to find good African film and television projects and products. It is the only time of the year in South Africa where local and international filmmakers, potential filmmakers, and film financiers, distributors and sales agents can network with each other on an internationally recognised platform. The Market is the only event of its kind in Africa. It provides you with the structure that will facilitate introductions to industry professionals who could possibly assist you in funding, packaging and selling your projects.

The four-day event offers a variety of conferences programs, workshops, debates, co-production forums and exhibitions structured in a way that will enhance your knowledge and contacts within the industry. In addition, this is also Sithengi's second year in co-operation with the Berlinale Talent Campus - the prominent talent campus of the Berlin Film Festival. Most of the influential in the film industry will be on hand to share their knowledge, experience and provide advice on getting geared for success.
